Abstract
Radiology is not only used for diagnosis in humans, but also in other fields. We report a case of a gastrointestinal foreign body in a feline with radiographs, upper gastrointestinal study and computed tomography (CT). Radiology provides the same type of services for animals as it does for humans. Abnormal opaque shadows on plain radiographs indicate the location of foreign bodies. An upper GI series can assess GI disease such as masses, stmctural abnormalities, and motility disorders. Sometimes foreign bodies can be detected by ultrasound. CT evaluation may replace the barium GI examination because it is better able to detect thin, small, minimally calcified foreign bodies which are often obscured by overlying tissues in radiological studies. Preoperative image study plays an important role in disease diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
