In this study, researchers are looking at a different type of CT scan called a dynamic CT scan. You have this at the same time as the PET scan. The dynamic CT scan provides different information to a PET scan. The aim of the study is to find which type of scan is better at diagnosing early stage lung cancer.
Causes of Feline âMangeâ. As described above, mange in companion cats is caused by localized or generalized infestation by external parasites â most commonly Notoedres cati, Cheyletiella blakei and Otodectes cynotis. Cats develop disease by contact with infected symptomatic or sometimes asymptomatic carrier cats.
Mite disorders, such as mange, in cats are rare, thus there is little known about them. However, two of the species of mites that cause mange in cats have been identified. The first, Demodex gatoi, is potentially contagious and may be transmitted between cats in the same household. The second, Demodex cati, is associated with diseases of the immune and metabolic systems, such as diabetes.
