X-rays of the pelvic limb can help diagnose bone and joint abnormalities in dogs. Key views include lateral, ventrodorsal, and oblique images of the pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, and tarsus. Proper positioning and technical settings like kVp, mA, and exposure time are needed to obtain quality radiographic images. Abnormal findings may include fractures, osteoarthritis, tumors, and ligament injuries. Pelvic x-rays can assist with surgical planning and post-operative evaluation.
Physicians have used palpation to detect differences in tissue stiffness as an aid to diagnosis based on the fact that the mechanical properties of tissues are often dramatically affected by the presence of disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis. Elastography depends on the same differences in mechanical properties between healthy and abnormal tissues using imaging to detect these differences at depths not reachable by manual palpation and presents data in color-coded display, can be performed with ultrasound, using manual pressure or low frequency sonic waves, or by MR Elastography imaging.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

3. Introduction:
• X-rays, invented by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in
1895, are a very helpful tool in veterinary
investigative work.
• They penetrate tissues and show internal
structures, so vets can quickly diagnose many
conditions that they can't see by just looking at
an animal.
• X-rays can provide pictures of tissues, organs,
bones, and foreign objects like swallowed items
or bladder stones.

• Pelvic limb that may help diagnose specific osseous
abnormalities in dogs.
Hip Fractures, neoplasia,
ligamentous instability,
osteoarthrosis
Stifle Osteochondrosis,
fractures,neoplasia,
ligamentous instability
Tarsus Osteochondrosis,
fractures,neoplasia,
ligamentous instability.
8. X-rays of pelvic region:
• kVp: kVp determines the gray scale in the study you are
doing. The higher the kVp, the grayer the tissue.
Thorax 80–120 kVp
Abdomen 70–90 kVp
Bone 40–65 kVp
Avian and exotics 40–58 kVp
• You need to change it 10% to see a difference in
technique.
• kVp only starts penetrating over 80 kVp, meaning the
body will be lacking latitude.
9. Conti…
• mA: mA is the amount of x-rays or electrons
coming out of the tube.
It takes into consideration the blackness of the
background and the denseness of the tissue
you are radiographing.
• You need to halve or double the mA to see a
difference 2.
• Your film will be black with too much mA
versus too gray with kVp.
10. Conti…
• TIME: Time is how fast your exposure time is set
for.
The number one reason for retaking radiographs
is motion.
Shortening your exposure times can eliminate
motion.
Try to keep your exposure time under 1/20 of a
second.
Thorax studies should be done at 1/120 or 1/60 of
a second to eliminate motion from the natural
breathing of the animal

(B) Dorsolateral to plantaromedial oblique radiographic

21. Conti…
Bending force stress radiographic view of the lateral
portion of the talocrural joint (arrow). Note the
abnormal widening of the medial portion of the joint
space. This is consistent with ligamentous instability.
22. Conclusion:
• A pelvic X-ray can help find the cause of
symptoms such as pain, swelling, or deformity in
the pelvic, hip, or upper leg regions, and can
detect broken bones after an injury.
• If pelvic surgery is required, an X-ray may be
taken to plan for the surgery and, later, to see the
results of the operation.
• Pelvic X-rays may detect other problems such as
cysts, tumors, and later-stage infections of the
pelvic bones.
