Abstract :The role of imaging techniques is becoming increasingly important in veterinary medicine. Radiography is often used for diagnosis in avian medicine particularly coelemic cavity and orthopedic fields. Many diagnostic test results as percussion, blood analyses, body temperature, etc. have limited interpretive value in avian patients and avian patients can often hide their clinical disease signs for a long period of time. Individual organs are not always clearly visualized on all radiographs. There are some variations in species in the size, shape, and location of internal organs. However, accurate interpretation of the radiogram depends on the well-known radiographic anatomy. The purpose of this study is to present normal radiographic images of birds and some pathological cases in different bird species.
