“…Radiography was always used by 45% of veterinarians (50% of them using it sometimes) and ultrasonography was always used by 24% of veterinarians, with 70% using it sometimes. When a sufficiently powerful generator is unavailable, the use of radiography is frequently restricted to imaging of the spinous processes (Vandeweerd, 2015). Conversely, ultrasonography is a more versatile diagnostic tool that can be used to detect soft tissue lesions (supraspinous ligament desmitis, thoracolumbar fasciitis, myositis), as well as APJ lesions, with a high sensitivity to detect bone remodelling and osteophyte formation (Audigié et al., 2013; Denoix, 1999).…”
