Radiographs ThoracicIndication for Radiographic StudyRepeat thoraxic study for cardiac monitoring-elevated trachea-cardiac globoid enlargement - bronchointerstitial pattern present - improvement in lung fieldRadiographic InformationLateral exposure factors:Ventrodorsal exposure factors:Automatically processed digital radiographs.Projections and QualityLateral view and ventrodorsal view of the thorax. The above radiographs show good positioning, correct labeling, no artefacts, good collimation and adequate exposure to evaluate soft tissue structures.Radiographic DescriptionThe radiographs are taken during the inspiration phase. Thoracic wall and surrounding soft tissue are within normal limits. No abnormalities are detected in the surrounding skeletal structures. The thoracic border (ribs, sternum, vertebral column and diaphragm) are complete and within normal limits. All mediastinal structures (trachea, oesophagus, region of lymph nodes) are within normal limits. The cardiac silhouette is a normal shape, size and position. The aorta, caudal vena cava and large pulmonary vessels are WNL. The pulmonary parenchyma is normal in appearance.The portion of cranial abdomen visible in these views show good serosal detail, normal liver size and normal stomach size and location.Radiographic Interpretation Repeat thoraxic study for cardiac monitoring-elevated trachea-cardiac globoid enlargement - bronchointerstitial pattern present - improvement in lung fieldddx: CHF Further Recommendations- repeat thoracic radiographs in six week- continue with dosages of pimobendan and fruesmide - discussed cardiac referral with owner, owner wanting to continue with cardiac monitoring radiographs     Vital Signs
