Abstract

Radiographically, the hepatic sizes of portosystemic shunt (PSS) cases were evaluated. In this study the hepatic area was compared in PSS and non-PSS dogs by utilizing the right lateral radiography. The top three breeds of PSS dogs of Maltese, Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier, were included and these dogs had a significantly smaller hepatic area ratio of 46.37 ± 0.63%, 61.76 ± 0.78% and 41.59 ± 0.23% respectively (p<0.05) and the average overall hepatic area in the 3 dog breeds was 47.75 ± 0.40%.<br>
