position of adjacent organs. The liver normally lies beneath
the ribs, but the position is affected by the stage of breathing
and the type of animal. The caudal margin of the liver is
generally enclosed either within the rib cage or quite close
to its caudal portion.
The margins of the liver are best evaluated on a lateral
radiograph. The cranial margin of the liver almost parallels
the contours of the dome-shaped diaphragm and is easily
visualized, but the caudal margin may be difficult to see
on the VD view. The liver in both the dog and the cat has
four lobes (left, right, caudate, and quadrate). The left and
right lobes are further divided into the medial and lateral
sublobes.
There is superimposition between the lobes of the liver,
between the liver and the diaphragm, and sometimes between
the liver and the stomach; thus these areas are not always
identifiable.
Gallbladder
In the dog and cat, the gallbladder is associated with the right
liver lobes. Because of the overlapping, this organ which has
the opacity of soft tissue, is not normally visible.

cat in a lateral radiograph, usually indicates splenomegaly.
In dogs there is more variation in the size of the spleen due
to many factors, such as age and breed, as well as sedatives
(e.g., barbiturates, phenothiazines) and other drugs that
cause splenomegaly.
Esophagus
The esophagus is usually not visible on neck and thoracic
radiographs. However, it is sometimes seen on the lateral
view of the thorax, either dorsal to the trachea when a small
amount of air is present in its lumen, or between the aortal
and the caudal vena cava when the esophagus is fluid filled'.
Pharynx
The pharynx is an air-filled cavity at the conjunction of the
respiratory system and the alimentary tract. The soft palate
is visible as a band of soft tissue between the nasopharynx
dorsally and the oropharynx ventrally. The laryngeal carti-
lages are seen ventral and caudal to the pharynx. Often the
pharyngeal side of the upper esophageal sphincter is also
visible. The pharynx is best seen on a lateral view.
Stomach 6,8
The stomach lies just caudal to the liver and cranial to the
transverse colon. It is normally found within the rib cage,
especially between meals, when the gastric contents are nor-
mally air and a small amount of fluid. Thus it is important
to include part of the rib cage when taking radiographs of
the abdomen. Food is seen in the stomach as a granular
material of mixed (air, soft tissue, and mineral) opacity. The
radiographic aspect the stomach depends on the gastric
content and the patient position. The stomach size and
opacity vary according to the gastric contents, but generally,
the size on a lateral view should not be more than two inter-
costal spaces. This organ is located at the level of about the
10th to 12th intercostal spaces. If it is radiographed after a
meal, the stomach can be two to three times larger. In cats
the cardia/body portions of an empty stomach look like
circular soft tissue opacity 2 to 3 cm in diameter, located to
the left of the midline and caudal to the liver.
The wall of the stomach with its rugal folds (gastric
rugae) may be seen if the stomach is distended with gas or
if it is emp The rugal folds are most evident in the cardia
and pyloric regions. However, the wall, as seen radiographi-
cally, may appear thicker than it really is, because of addi-
tional soft tissue opacities (gastric content). It is, therefore,
difficult to assess the gastric (and intestinal) wall on survey
radiographs.
The stomach can be divided into different portions-the
cardia, fundus, body, pyloric canal, and pyloric antrum. The
cardia lies just caudal to the diaphragm in the region of
the esophageal hiatus. The fundus has a dome appearance at
the left dorsal aspect of the stomach. The central located
body is the largest portion of the stomach, lying between
the fundus and pyloric portion. The pyloric portion is the
distal third of the stomach that can be divided into the thin
walled pyloric antrum (proximal two-thirds) and the
CHAPTER 18 Small Animal Abdomen
muscular pyloric canal (distal third) which contains a double
sphincter. In the right lateral position, the pylorus may
appear as a soft-tissue opacity that can be misdiagnosed as
a mass or foreign body. If there is any doubt, a left lateral.
view should be completed.
The long axis of the stomach (a line drawn connecting
the fundus and the pylorus) varies depending on the stage
of respiration, size of the liver, and degree of gastric filling.
In the lateral view, the long axis of the stomach should lie
approximately parallel to the caudal ribs, perpendicular to
the vertebral column, or somewhere between, in a dog or cat.
For the VD view of the dog, the cardia, fundus and body of
the stomach, are situated to the left of midline while the
pyloric portions are to the right of midline. The pylorus in
the cat is closer to the midline and the stomach is more
acutely angled. In the lateral view, the axis appears almost
vertical on the radiograph, whereas in the VD view the
stomach has a horizontal appearance (Figure 18-14).
The gas or fluid pattern within the stomach is influenced
by the volume and ratio of fluid to gas and the position of
the patient. If one compares the stomach with a J shaped
balloon in a transverse plane that is filled with water and air,
