Evaluation technique for the feline pelvic cavity using computed tomography
Pelvic canal area and pelvic canal area/sacral refrerence intervals were established in 50 cats
The objective of this study was to establish an evaluation technique for the feline pelvic cavity using computed tomography (CT).
Client-owned cats with a normal pelvis (n = 50) or pelvic stenosis (n = 3) were included. The authors categorized pelvic CT images in the normal pelvis group into two types according to pelvic cavity shape, then calculated the sacral index (SI), pelvic canal area (PCA), and PCA/sacral width index (PSI). The reference intervals of these variables were determined based on the results in the normal pelvis group.
In the normal pelvis group, the PSI, unlike the SI and PCA, ...
