4.2.1
Grid system for auscultation of the thorax. Using this system each area of the pulmonary field is auscultated (and percussed), to help identify focal changes. In this patient, a loss of pulmonary sounds was identified in the cranial and ventral regions of the thorax due to the presence of a cranial mediastinal mass and associated pleural effusion. © 2013 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

FELINE LOWER AIRWAY DISEASE. Hyperinflation and increased bronchial markings, together with cranial bronchiectasis in a cat with asthma. The asymmetrical appearance of the diaphragm on the DV view is probably an artefact due to partial collapse of the right lung from the patient lying in right lateral recumbency. Old fractures of left ribs 8–11 can be seen on both views. (Courtesy of University of Bristol)
