초록

A 7-year-old female, Jindo dog was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital with mild dyspnea and anorexia due to a gunshot trauma. The dog was wounded in the thoracic region 3 days ago. Plain radiographs showed the left 8th rib fracture, interstitial pattern in the left caudal lung field and pleural effusion. Abdominal radiographs showed the lead bullet. Computed tomographs(CT) showed the size of pulmonary contusion, laceration, lung parenchymal injuries, hemothorax and perforation of abdominal wall. The therapeutic plan was based on abnormalities seen on CT scans but not clearly seen in survey radiographs. Thoracic CT significantly provides even more informations compared with the corresponding radiographs in thoracic gunshot trauma. Although thoracic survey radiographs are useful as a screening tool, CT is highly sensitive in detecting thoracic injuries after thoracic trauma and is superior to routine thoracic survey radiographs in visualizing lung contusion, pneumothorax and hemothorax. Therefore, we recommend CT in the initial diagnostic work-up of patients with thoracic injuries and with suspected chest trauma because early and exact diagnosis of all thoracic injuries along with sufficient therapeutic consequences may reduce complications.
