Abstract

For the present study was reviewed bibliography about the diagnostic methods of disc herniation, which it is the discopathy most common in dogs and it is related to neurological disorders involving the spinal cord. Disc herniation is the main cause for the imaging investigation of the spine in small animal. Diagnostic imaging is fundamental to have knowledge of the disease, the location and severity of the lesion. The most common examinations performed in veterinary medicine are radiography and myelography, because they are more accessible, but an accurate diagnosis is made through computed tomography or magnetic resonance, being the latter the primary technique to the discopathy. These factors, as well as the etiology and pathophysiology will be approached also in this study.
