In dogs, radiology is often peformed in the diagnostic work up of an animal with suspected Aspergillosis. Open-mouth ventro-dorsal views often reveal generalised radiolucency and lysis of the turbinate bones. Rhinoscopy may be used to directly visualise the lesions, revealing characteristic white-green fungal plaques. Fungal culture can be used to demonstrate the organism but should not be used as the sole means of diagnosis due to the possibility of false . Aspergillus grows on Sabauraud's Dextrose and Blood agar. White colonies form intitially which turn green, then dark green, flat and velvety
