This module of vet-Anatomy is a basic atlas of normal imaging anatomy of the dog on radiographs. 51 sampled x-ray images of healthy dogs performed by Susanne AEB Borofka (PhD - dipl. ECVDI, Utrecht, Netherland) were categorized topographically into seven chapters (head, vertebral column, thoracic limb, pelvic limb, larynx/pharynx, thorax and abdomen/pelvis).

648 differentiated anatomical terms were labelled by Antoine Micheau (MD, Montpellier, France), using different colors to improve the survey and the identification of searched structures on each radiograph.

The anatomical structures were labeled, following the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria, and grouped by topics.
