    The document describes different lung patterns seen on radiographs in dogs, including the normal lung pattern with transparent lungs and visible vessels and bronchi, the alveolar pattern where the alveolar air is replaced by fluid or exudate making the lung more dense, and the bronchial pattern seen as ring-like shadows and tram lines. It also mentions the normal location of the artery, bronchus and vein and shows an example of an air bronchogram in an alveolar pattern lung and a diffuse interstitial pattern from lung metastases that can appear similar to a bronchial pattern.

    1.

    Normal lung pattern

    Normal view of the lung in a dog – right lateral projection (LL).

    2. Alveolar lung pattern

    On the right – a lung where the alveolar air has been replacing by exudate, haemorrhage or fluid. This increases the density of the
    lung. The bronchial lumen is an air bronchogram.

    On the left – normal transparency of the lung. Lung vessel (V) passes slantwise through the lung. It is clearly visi- ble while the bronchi
    are less visible because their wall is thin and they are air-filled like the content of the alveoli.
    3. Artery – Bronchus – vein

    Normal location of the artery .– bronchus (b) – vein (v). Lobe sign – arrow

    Image 8: Air bronchograms (ar- row) in an alveolar pattern.

    4. Bronchial lung pattern

    A dog with expressed bronchial pat- tern. Ring-like shadows (white arrows) and “tram lines“ (black
    arrows).
    5. Diffuse intestitial pattern

    Lung metastases of hemangiosarcoma– diffuse interstitial pattern. May be confused with a bronchial pattern.
