Chest radiography, as a non-invasive method, is the basis for the assessment of lung injuries and the diagnosis of respiratory diseases in veterinary medicine. Analysis and interpretation of pulmonary patterns are the basis for the diagnosis of chest diseases and enable veterinarians to differentiate different types of respiratory disorders and implement appropriate therapeutic interventions. According to the classification of Thrall et al., pulmonary patterns are divided into bronchial, alveolar, interstitial, vascular, and mixed. In this study, chest radiographs of small animals referred to a small animal clinic in Shahrekord city over one year (April to the end of March 2024) were used. Of the 112 referred animals, 78 cases (69.64%) showed pulmonary involvement on chest radiographs. The common pattern was the normal pattern, with a prevalence of 59.72% in dogs and 45% in cats. The Chi-square test results showed a significant difference in the frequency of pulmonary patterns between dogs and cats (P = 0.032). Also, the comparison of the results of expert interpretation and artificial intelligence in both species showed a statistically significant difference (dogs: P = 0.018, cats: P = 0.041). Comparing the results from radiologist interpretation and AI interpretation highlights the role of AI as an auxiliary tool, not a replacement.
