Radiography for hip dysplasia evaluation

Pages 43-45 | Published online: 23 Feb 2011
 

Abstract

Extract

The New Zealand Veterinary Association has, after a thorough investigation, adopted the British Veterinary Association system of hip evaluation. The system has many advantages amongst which the facility to score and thereby quantify visual image variation is most important. Essentially any radiology is a subjective art in which the examiner defines his or her own opinions based upon visual experience. The British Veterinary Association system introduces a more objective assessment which, with a system of point scoring, allows panels of assessors to confidently report upon films with an accuracy hitherto unavailable. Further, the scores provide an invaluable databank forinformation on breed, sex and age, to mention a few.
