Abstract

This article includes imaging of the glenohumeral (shoulder), elbow, stifle, and tarsal joints. The imaging modalities discussed are survey radiography, contrast arthrography, linear tomography, ultrasound, computed tomography, scintigraphy and magnetic resonance. Survey radiography is the first choice imaging modality for diagnosing osteochondrosis dissecans in dogs. In cases where survey radiography fail to demonstrate a lesion other modalities such as scintigraphy, linear tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance may be helpful. Survey radiography, contrast arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance may also provide additional information contributing to early diagnosis and treatment.
