“…There is little literature on the CT appearance of pulmonary edema in cats, likely because most institutions and hospitals require general anesthesia, precluding CT examination. The CT findings of pulmonary edema described in our study were similar to the previously reported variable radiographic appearance of pulmonary edema in cats . This study confirms and adds to the literature of the CT appearance of pulmonary edema in cats.…”

Arterial thromboembolism is a life-threatening condition in cats most commonly secondary to cardiac disease. Echocardiography is the reference standard to evaluate for presence of a thrombus. In humans, computed tomographic (CT) angiography is becoming widely used to detect left atrial thrombi precluding the use of sedation. The purpose of this prospective, controlled, methods comparison pilot study was threefold: (1) describe new CT angiography protocol used in awake cats with cardiac disease and congestive heart failure; (2) determine accuracy of continuous and dynamic acquisition CT angiography to identify and characterize cardiac thrombi from spontaneous echocardiographic contrast using transthoracic echocardiography as our reference standard; (3) identify known negative prognostic factors and comorbidities of the thorax that CT angiography may provide that complement or supersede echocardiographic examination. Fourteen cats with heart disease were recruited; 7 with thrombi and 7 with spontaneous echocardiographic contrast. Echocardiography and awake CT angiography were performed using a microdose of contrast. Six of 7 thrombi were identified on CT angiography as filling defects by at least one reviewer within the left auricle (n = 6) and right heart (n = 1). Highest sensitivity (71.4%) was in continuous phase and highest specificity (85.7%) was in dynamic studies with fair to moderate interobserver agreement (0.38 and 0.44). CT angiography identified prognostic cardiac information (left atrial enlargement, congestive heart failure, arterial thromboembolism) and comorbidities (suspected idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, asthma). This study indicates CT angiography can readily identify cardiac thrombi, important prognostic information and comorbidities, and can be safely performed in cats with cardiac disease and congestive heart failure.

“…The utility of thoracic radiographs in distinguishing hydrostatic pulmonary edema from high‐permeability pulmonary edema has been evaluated in several studies, and the accuracy of this imaging modality is variable. This is especially true in cats, as they commonly display high variability in radiographic signs of congestive heart failure . Echocardiography is currently the gold standard to rule out hydrostatic pulmonary edema in veterinary medicine.…”

“…All of our patients had confirmed pulmonary lymphoma; however, pulmonary involvement is typically established in lymphoma patients when radiographic pulmonary changes are present, as other diagnostics are considered more invasive 1,2 . Based on our results, pulmonary lymphoma has a highly variable radiographic appearance; thus, differentials for abnormal pulmonary infiltrates in cats and dogs with multicentric or extranodal lymphoma can include neoplastic infiltration, pulmonary fibrosis, bacterial pneumonia, feline asthma, chronic bronchitis, and cardiogenic pulmonary edema 19 …”

Herein we describe the thoracic radiographic appearance of confirmed pulmonary lymphoma. Patients with thoracic radiographs and cytologically or histologically confirmed pulmonary lymphoma were sought by contacting American College of Veterinary Radiology members. Seven cats and 16 dogs met the inclusion criteria, ranging in age from 4 to 15 years. Method of diagnosis was via ultrasound-guided cytology (four), surgical biopsy (two), ultrasound-guided biopsy (one), and necropsy (16). Radiographic findings varied but ranged from normal (one) to alveolar (six) and/or unstructured interstitial infiltrates (11), nodules and/or masses (eight), and bronchial infiltrates (four). Additional thoracic radiographic findings included pleural effusion and lymphadenopathy. The results of this evaluation indicate a wide variability in thoracic radiographic abnormalities in cats and dogs with pulmonary lymphoma.
