The evaluation of non-anesthetic computed tomography for detection of pulmonary parenchyma in feline mammary gland carcinoma: a preliminary study

Table 2 The motion artifact among anesthetized healthy cats (Gr. 1), non-anesthetized healthy cats (Gr. 2) and mammary gland adenocarcinoma affected cats (Gr. 3) on thoracic computed tomography

Group	Number of cats			Average motion artifact score
Group	Grade 0	Grade 1	Grade 2	Average motion artifact score
Gr. 1	8/12 (66.7 %)	3/12 (25.0 %)	1/12 (8.3 %)	0.4 ± 0.6
Gr.2	2/12 (16.6 %)	5/12 (41.7 %)	5/12 (41.7 %)	1.2 ± 0.7
Gr. 3	10/20 (50.0 %)	10/20 (50.0 %)	0/20 (0 %)	0.5 ± 0.5

Motion artifacts were compared among groups using Kruskal-Wallis test: P = 0.0083
Motion artifacts were compared between groups using Dunn’s Multiple comparisons test:
Gr. 1 vs. Gr. 2: P = 0.0146.
Gr. 1 vs. Gr. 3: P > 0.9999.
Gr. 2 vs. Gr.3: P = 0.0246
