Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced diagnostic imaging method that provides high-resolution images in both humans and animals. Because MRI images are obtained without the use of ionizing radiation, it is a highly reliable diagnostic tool for imaging organs and other structures. While computed tomography (CT) has become increasingly prominent in the diagnosis of thoracic pathologies, the image quality of MRI has improved in recent years, significantly reducing motion artifacts. This review briefly discusses MRI application and technical principles, highlights MRI findings in thoracic pathologies in cats and dogs, and highlights the role of MRI in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and surgical planning.

Özet

Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) insan ve hayvanlarda yüksek çözünürlükte görüntü sağlayan bir ileri görüntülü tanı yöntemidir. MRG ile görüntüleri elde edilirken iyonize ışın kullanılmadığı için organ ve diğer yapıların görüntülenmesinde oldukça güvenli bir tanısal araçtır. Toraks’ın patolojilerinin tanısında her ne kadar bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ön plana çıksa da son yıllarda hareket artefaktları belirgin azalmış olan MRG’nin görüntü kalitesi de artmıştır. Sunulan bu derlemede, MRG uygulama ve teknik prensipleri kısaca bahsedilirken, kedi ve köpeklerin toraks patolojilerinde MRG bulgularına değinilmiş ve hastalıkların tanı, prognoz ve cerrahi planlamalarında MRG’nin rolü ön plana çıkarılmıştır.
