Upper respiratory tract (URT) diseases are remarkably common in cats, and can be both challenging in the acute state and frustrating in the chronic state. The imaging of the feline nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses by conventional radiography is still common. However, information obtained by this technique is limited, primarily because of superimposition of anatomic structures. Radiographic findings from conventional radiography can be vastly extended with computed tomography (CT). In this article, we discuss the application of CT and the typical radiographic features of feline viral and fungal rhinitis, nasal neoplasia, inflammatory polyps, nasopharyngeal stenosis, soft palate dysgenesis, and nasal foreign bodies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
