초록

Four dogs were incidentally diagnosed as plate-like atelectasis (PLA) by thoracic radiographs. The dogs underwent thoracic computed tomography (CT) examination with various causes. On the lateral radiographs, PLA lesions were observed as a single linear or curvilinear radiopaque area in all four dogs. Although PLA lesions were observed linear structures on dorsal and sagittal reformatted CT images as in the radiographs, it appeared pulmonary opacification or band shape on transverse images. Therefore, care should be taken to differentiate PLA from other pulmonary diseases.
