Canine Spine — VD

DX · digital X-ray

01 /What's visible

Canine VD spanning the thoracic vertebral column into the cranial lumbar (frame ends mid-lumbar), ribs symmetric on both sides — useful for screening vertebral alignment, intervertebral disc-space uniformity, and vertebral body shape across the thoracolumbar junction.

02 / Landmarks

Thoracic vertebrae (T-row, ribs attached)
Lumbar vertebrae (cranial portion visible)
Ribs (paired, symmetric)
Intervertebral disc spaces
Spinous processes (midline column of densities)

Canine Spine

Canine cervicothoracic lateral from the CUVET teaching set (study labeled 'Chest'). The cervical vertebral column C1–C7 is clearly visible curving from the skull base through the cervicothoracic junction into the cranial thorax — a reference for counting cervical vertebrae and reading the normal cervical curvature. Anonymized via the CUVET 4-pass scrubber pipeline.
