Q

True/False: This Patients does NOT have Urolith Calculi

A

False

*Cannot say for certain there are no Calculi since some Calculi are Non-Radiopaque. If you have clinical Signs that are suggestive of Calculi, you have to do further tests to Determine if there are Uroliths

Q

What can be Diagnosed in this Portogram Radiograph?

A

Single, Extra Hepatic Portocaval Shunt

*Immediate Opacification of the Caudal Vena Cava- Not Normal. Should not see Opacification in the Heart Prior to Opacification of the Liver

*No Tree Pattern- Limited Arborizing Pattern

*Reference Point- Cranial to T13. If the Shunting vessel enters the Caudal Vena Cava Cranial to T13 we consider it to be Intrahepatic. In this case it is more likely to be Extrahepatic because the shunting occurs caudal to T13
