Felinogram in a cat with FIP

In veterinary medicine, a felinogram (syn. Katzogram ) is an overview x- ray of the entire trunk of a domestic cat . In contrast to other animals, the differences in the exposure values ​​between the different body regions in cats are not very great, so that such an overall picture provides sufficient information. In addition, radiation exposure and stress are minimized. A felinogram is only unsuitable for special lung diagnostics, since the scattered radiation limits the detailed diagnostics .
