Radiographic examination is a common method for diagnosis of pulmonary diseases but it is not always adequate for accurate diagnosis. Therefore, an advanced imaging method as computed tomography (CT) was used in this study for veterinary purposes. This study aimed the comparison of the two imaging methods for evaluation of pulmonary diseases in dogs. 20 dogs of various breeds, age and sex with complaints of lung disease made up the materials of the study. Following the patient history and clinical examination, radiographic examination and CT examination were performed and the outcomes were evaluated. Pulmonary nodules/masses or calcified foci in 12 patients, pleural effusion and pneumothorax in 4 patients, pulmonary edema in 2 patients, tracheal collapse and megaesophagus in two patients were diagnosed by using both radiographic and CT examination. As a conclusion, radiographic examination provides an initial diagnosis for severe diseases and can be used as first imaging modality for lung diseases, but CT has superiority over radiography due to its ability to provide cross-sectional images and more accurate diagnosis.

Özetİnsanlarda Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) bronşial, akciğer ve mediastinal anormalliklerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılmaktadır. Veteriner hekimlikte toraks hastalıklarının görüntülenmesinde sıklıkla kullanılan radyografi, çoğu olguda yetersiz kalmakta ve hastalara kesin tanı konulamayıp, sağaltımlar yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bilgisayarlı Tomografinin kesit görüntü sağlama özelliği ile radyografiye olan üstünlüğü daha önce yapılmış çalışmalarda bildirilmiştir. BT, dünya çapında 1990'lı yılların sonlarına doğru veteriner hekimlikte de kullanılmaya başlanmıştır; ancak ülkemizde BT ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar kısıtlıdır. Abstract Use of Computed Tomography for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Diseases in DogsComputed Tomography (CT) is used for the evaluation of bronchial, lung and mediastinal abnormalities in humans. Thoracic radiography is commonly used in veterinary medicine for the diagnosis of thoracic diseases, but in most cases this modality is insufficient for definitive diagnosis and as a result treatments are inadequate. The superiority of CT with its ability to provide crosssectional images has been reported in earlier studies. CT related studies started in veterinary medicine at the end of 1990s, but these studies are limited in our country.
