Rads of the thorax – There is a severe bilateral alveolar consolidation of the cranioventral and perihilar lung
field highlighted by airbronchograms, which mainly involves the left and right cranial
as well as the right middle lung lobe. Only the perihilar region of the caudal lung lobes
reveals an increased opacity, the remainder of the caudal lung field reveals the
expected age related changes.
There is evidence of tracheobronchial lymph node enlargement indicated by split of the
main stem bronchi seen on the ventrodorsal view.
The cardiovascular structures are normal with no evidence of cardiomegaly, overt
chamber enlargement or congestive heart failure.
The cranial thoracic esophagus contains a mild amount of gas. The caudal thoracic
esophagus is seen as a mildly dilated soft tissue opacity, which likely is an incidental
finding associated with swallowing or gastroesophageal reflux during exposure.
The included bony and abdominal structures are within normal limits.
Two amorphous ovoid subcutaneous calcifications are seen dorsal to the scapulae with
no surrounding soft tissue swelling. This is likely consistent with incidental dystrophic
mineralization or calcinosis cutis.
