Q

What is the normal size of the left atrium compared to the aorta in dogs and cats?

A

Dogs
Aorta : left atrium ratio =1.5 or less

Cats
Aorta : left atrium ratio =1.4 or less

17
Q

What problem is indicated by the arrow?

A

Too much near field gain

18
Q

What problem is indicated by the arrow?

A

Need to increase overall gain - this is too dark

19
Q

What problem is indicated by the arrow?

A

Too white -> need to reduce near field gain
