Radiographic Examination of the Lungs and Thorax Cavity in Equine
The aim of the study was to identify the area and the radiological procedure and parameters for lungs and thorax examination in horses, using a mobile double arms X-Ray device. The study was conducted on 10 horses that were presented to the radiology clinic for pulmonary investigation. The study was...
