Abstract
Diagnosisi of pulmonary lesions on the basis of history and physical examinationis often challenging. Diagnostic imaging is therefore of paramount importance in this field. Radiology has traditionally been considered the elective diagnostic procedure for these disease. Nonetheless it is often not possible to diferentiate inflammatory/infectious lesions from neoplastic disease. A correct cyto-histopathological diagnosis is therefore needed for an accurate diagnosis. In the present study 38 dog and 11 cats, of different sex, breed and size, underwent aither CT-guided lung fine-needle aspiration (FNA), tissue-core biopsy (TCB) or both.File in questo prodotto:
