Radiography of cranial and nasal cavities in neoplastic abnormalities in dogs: characteristics and limitations
Keywords:
cancer, cranial and nasal cavities, radiography, dogsAbstract
Several tumors can affect the skull and nasal cavities of dogs. Radiographic evaluation of
these regions is routinely requested to assist in the evaluation of bones and soft tissue
structures, providing information about the location and aggressiveness of the tumor. Despite
of the applicability we must know the x-ray limitations to be prepared and choose other
diagnostic tools for patients with cranial and/or nasal tumors. The aims of this review are to
describe the radiographic anatomy of the major tumors that can affect the regions presented
and discuss the radiographic changes and limitations associated.
