Abstract
To establish the method for the most effective radiography and fluoroscopy, the abdominal organs of cats were investigeted using omnidirectional angles with the center of the body as the axis using an omnidirectional protective shielding X-ray system and a $360^{\circ}$ rotary restraint unit for use in small animals. The organs examined were the diaphragm, liver, stomach, colon, spleen and kidney. The results obtained in the present study were as follows: 1. Regardless of gas in the stomach present or not, it was feasible to distinguish the left and right crura in the lumbar portion of diaphragm in the oblique projection inclined over $30^{\circ}$ and under $90^{\circ}$ from the lateral projection. 2. Outlines of the exterior left lobe and the interior right lobe of the liver were observed in the oblique image inclined up to $60^{\circ}$ from the lateral image, while that of the exterior right lobe was noted in the oblique image inclined up to $60^{\circ}$ from the ventrodorsal-dorsoventral images. 3. It was necessary to have gas present in the stomach for detailed morphological observations of the stomach. It was most clearly observed in the right $30^{\circ}$ ventral-left dorsal oblique projection($120^{\circ}$ image) and the left $60^{\circ}$ dorsal-right ventral oblique projection($300^{\circ}$ image). 4. Morphology of the colon was observable in detail by the oblique projection inclined over $30^{\circ}$ from the lateral projection. 5. To observe the whole spleen it was required to have images from the ventrodorsal projection ($90^{\circ}$ image) to the right $60^{\circ}$ ventral-left dorsal oblique projection ($150^{\circ}$ image) as well as those from the dorsoventral projection ($270^{\circ}$ image) to the left-right lateral projection $0^{\circ}$ image). 6. Dorsal and ventral sides of the kidney were observable in the oblique images inclined $30^{\circ}$ from the lateral image. 7. Considering above findings collectively, it was thought that the results of present study might be useful for the analysis of abnormalies in each organ of cat.
형태학적으로 가장 효과적인 X-선 촬영 및 투시각도를 연구하기 위해서 전방향 방호X-선기와 소동물용 $360^{\circ}$ 회전형 보정장치를 이용하여 고양이의 복부장기를 대상으로 방사선 투시와 촬영을 병행하여 조사하였다. 조사한 장기는 횡격막, 간, 위, 결장, 비장, 신장이였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 횡격막은 $30^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$ 각도 사이에서 가장 선명한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 2. 간의 좌엽과 중간엽은 수평면의 $60^{\circ}$ 각도에서 관찰된 반면, 우엽은 수직면의 $60^{\circ}$ 각도에서 관찰되었다. 3. 위는 우측 $30^{\circ}$ 각도 복-좌배사면과 좌측 $60^{\circ}$ 각도 배-우복사면에서 가스가 존재할 때 특히 잘 관찰되었다. 4. 결장은 수평면의 $30^{\circ}$ 각도 이상에서는 자세히 관찰되었다. 5. 비장은 복배면과 우측 $60^{\circ}$ 복-좌배사면사이와 배복면과 좌-우외측면 사이의 각도에서 잘 관찰되었다. 6. 신장의 배쪽면과 등쪽면의 경우 수평면의 $30^{\circ}$ 각도에서 가장 잘 관찰되었다. 7. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 본 연구의 결과는 고양이 각 장기의 이상유무 분석에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단되었다.
