Midterm/ Quiz 2 Flashcards
Real-Time Tomographic View of the Heart in Longitudinal and Transverse Planes that is good for assessing Masses, Valvular Abonormalities, Pericaridal Effusion and Septal Defects

B-Mode
*Blood will be a Black Color and the Walls of the Heart will be a Shade of Grey
Which View of an Echocardiogram is this, that is used to look at the Aorta and Left Atrium?

Right Parasternal Short Axis (B) View
What Measurement are we Taking in this Echocardiogram on the Right Side of the Patient?

M-Mode
*M-Mode is taken on the Right Side of the Patient and should Go through a Symmetrical Left Ventricle
*M-Mode is used for Cardiac Measurements and Fractional Shortening
Picture: Blood is Anechoic (Black) and represents the Ventricles, while the Grey Areas will be the Ventricular Walls


*Diagnose Heart Disease- Echocardiography
*Diagnose Heart Failure-Thoracic Radiograph (Cardiogenic Edema)
The Mediastinum has _____ Opacity
Soft Tissue
Free Gas in the Mediastinum, which May Progress to Pneumothorax

Pneumomediastinum
*The Mediastinum is Not a Closed Cavity, it has an Opening Cranially and Caudally at the Neck and Retroperitoneal Spacce
_*_Ex. If the Patient has a Neck Injury they can have Air Dissecting into the Mediastinum
*Pneumomediastinum can Cause a Pneumothorax, but a Pneumothorax can never cause a Pneumomediastinum

Persistant Right Fourth Aortic Arch commonly Leads to _____, that Constricts the Esophagus at the Heart-Base that May Result in Sacculations or Diverticulum of the Oral Part of the Esophagus as well as Generalized Megaesophagus
Vascular Ring Anomaly
*Constriction of the Esophagus at the Heart Base- Characteristic of Vascular Ring Anomaly
*Occurs in Young animals when they are switching from Liquid Food to Solid Food

Fat
What is Detected in This Radiograph?

Pleural Fissure Lines

On CT, Will the Ventral Dorsal or Dorsal Ventral View of Pleural Effusion Cause Cardiac Silouhetting Faster?
Dorsal Ventral
*In Dorsal Ventral View, you only need a small Amount of Pleural Fluid before Cardiac Silouhetting Occurs
*In the Ventral Dorsal View you need a Significant Amount of Pleural Fluid before Sillouhetting Occurs

What is Occuring in this Radiograph?

Moderate Pleural Effusion
*Retracted Lung Lobes and Pleural Fissure Lines
*Photo- In Ventral Dorsal View, the Heart is More Visible. In Dorsal Ventral View, you CANNOT see the Heart

What is this Radiograph of a Patient with Tension Pneumothorax showing?

Tenting of Diaphragm

True/False: This is a Radiograph of a Pneumothorax

False
*This is Volume Depletion- The Cardiac Silhouette is not Touching the Sternum because the Heart is Small, not because there is Gas within the Space. You can still see Pulmonary Blood Vessels and Bronchi in the Space between the Heart and the Thoracic Wall
Left Lateral
*Caudal Vena Cava crosses over the Cranial Crus and Enters the Caudal Crus. Caudal Vena Cava always enters the Right Crus

What is the Best Radiographic View for seeing the Pharynx and Larynx?
Lateral View
*In the VD View, most structures are Superimposed

Which Lung Pattern is seen in the Radiograph Below?

Bronchial Pattern
*Donut Shape

Right Pulmonary Artery
*The Left Pulmonary Artery and Vein is Always DORSAL to the Right Pulmonary Artery and Vein
*“X” in the Photo shows where the Bronchus is- Between the Vein and Artery

Atelectasis leads to an Increased Soft Tissue Opacity and Decreased Size of the Lung Lobe, while Consolidation leads to Increased Soft Tissue Opacity and ____ Size of the Lung Lobe
Normal
*Consolidation- The Heart stays in the Normal Position

This is a Radiograph of :
A. Lung Consolidation
B. Lung Atelectasis

B. Lung Atelectasis
*Heart is Not in the Normal Position
With Echocardiology, we use a ____ Frequency Transducer because we need to Penetrate Deeper Tissues
Lower
*3.0-5.0 MHz for Large Dogs
5.0-7.5 MHz for Small Dogs
*If you have a _Sector Transduce_r in your Clinic, it will most likely be used for Echocardiology and will have Lower Frequencies
What Thoracic Wall Lesion is this Radiograph Depicting?

Body Wall Hernia
*Intestinal Loops Herniating into the Subcutaneous Tissue
Area Between the Accesory and Left Caudal Lobes that is only seen in Dorsal Ventral/Ventral Dorsal Views

Caudoventral Mediastinal Reflection
*Arrow is Pointing at the Caudoventral Mediastinum
What is the Arrow Pointing to in this Radiograph?

Basihyoid Bone
*Can be Easily Confused with a Foreign Body
What is the Pathology in this Radiograph, leading to Displacement and Compression of the Trachea

Heart Base Tumor
