Abstract:BackgroundCurrent methods available for assessing alterations in lung mechanics require sophisticated equipment and are of limited availability. A method that could assess lung area change with respiration might be a clinically useful surrogate for assessing lung compliance.ObjectiveTo use fluoroscopy to determine percent change in thoracic and lung areas in healthy dogs.AnimalsForty‐four client‐owned dogs with no evidence of respiratory disease.MethodsProspective study. Resting respiration was recorded fluoro… Show more
