Resumo
Este trabalho examina o poder de diagnostico comparativo da radiografia e tomografia computorizada, em quatro casos de coelhos com suspeita de patologia dentária. Atualmente é cada vez mais utilizado a tomografia computorizada como ferramenta de prognóstico em vez de diagnostico inicial e este trabalho é para averiguar se vale mesmo a pena realizar a radiografia quando vamos ter de realizar uma tomografia computorizada posteriormente em todos os casos. Os casos apresentados foram recolhidos após a realização dos dois exames, através de um programa de gestão veterinária, e descritos ao maior pormenor possível. Os quatro coelhos apresentavam todos alguma suspeita inicial de patologia dentária e com exame oral já indicativo de alguma progressão desta patologia, sendo que em dois dos casos já existiam abcessos associados. No final foi concluído que apesar de a tomografia computorizada oferecer mais informação qua a radiografia, em termo de praticabilidade quer para a clínica/hospital quer para o tutor acaba por ser preciso realizar a radiografia para diagnóstico inicial. Palavras-chave: Coelhos, radiografia, tomografia computorizada, diagnóstico, prognóstico
This work examines the comparative diagnostic power of radiography and computed tomography in four cases of rabbits with suspected dental pathology. Currently, computed tomography is increasingly used as a prognostic tool rather than as an initial diagnosis and this work is to find out whether it is really worth performing the x-ray when we will have to perform a computed tomography later in all cases. The cases presented were collected after carrying out the two examinations, through a veterinary management program, and described in as much detail as possible. The four rabbits all had some initial suspicion of dental pathology and oral examinations already indicated some progression of this pathology, and in two of the cases there were already associated abscesses. In the end, it was concluded that although computerized tomography offers more information than radiography, in terms of practicality for both the clinic/hospital and the guardian, it ends up being necessary to perform an x-ray for initial diagnosis. Keywords: Rabbits, x-ray, computed tomography, diagnosis, prognosis
