Manubrium tracheal index versus thoracic inlet tracheal index and proximal rib3 tracheal score to radiographically assess bulldogs’ tracheal diameter at 3 levels
Bulldogs with M-TI < 0.29 at the thoracic inlet trachea and < 0.33 at the caudal cervical and intrathoracic trachea (average M-TI < 0.32) may have tracheal hypoplasia. However, further assessments of diseased bulldogs and the repeatability of measurements are still warranted.
