History:
Complete anorexia for 4–5 days. Cannot hold anything down. Patient will drink water but vomits. Painful abdomen.
Radiographic Examination:
4 views of the abdomen were available for review — cranial lateral, caudal lateral, cranial VD, caudal VD. 4 views of the abdomen were made to ensure that the entire abdomen was included. The anatomical boundaries of the abdomen include the entire diaphragm to the greater trochanter on both views.
Positioning is very good; the patient is straight on the lateral views, and the entire abdomen is included on the exam. Radiographic technique is good; the mild overexposure at the ventral aspect of the abdomen on the cranial lateral view is thought to be secondary to digitization rather than radiographic technique. Permanent positioning markers were not included on any view.
