Subject:
Beagle; dogs; radiology; signal-to-noise ratio; ultrasonics
Abstract:
... Adrenal disease is a common problem in dogs and MRI is increasingly being used as an adjunctive diagnostic test. To date, the MRI features of normal canine adrenal glands have only been reported using 1.5‐Tesla (T) MRI. The aims of this prospective, methods‐comparison, exploratory study were to evaluate the effects of pulse sequence on the appearance of normal canine adrenal glands using 3 Tesla M ...

Abstract:
... With the increasing use of CT and MRI for diagnostic imaging and planning of interventional procedures, it is important for veterinary radiologists to be familiar with variations in normal vascular anatomy and not mistake them for pathology. The arterial blood supply to the cranial abdominal viscera is provided by the celiac and the cranial mesenteric arteries. A common celiacomesenteric trunk (CM ...

Abstract:
... Computed tomographic (CT) liver volumetry using the slice addition technique is an accurate, but a time‐consuming method. Commonly used DICOM‐viewing software only allows contouring of one area per image, which can be troublesome in the transverse plane as different lobes are separated. In this prospective, experimental, methods comparison study, we aimed to determine if hepatic contouring using s ...

Abstract:
... Dogs with congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (IHPSS) occasionally have multiple smaller intrahepatic, tortuous blood vessels surrounding the primary shunt. This study was a retrospective, observational design that was also descriptive and anatomic in nature. Objectives were to characterize vascular morphology in IHPSS dogs presenting with intrahepatic venous collaterals (IVCs) relative t ...

The normal reference range of RCT in dogs is broad (3–8 mm) because of the extreme diversity in body size. Therefore, this retrospective, reference interval, and observational design study aimed to establish a normal reference range for RCT in ...
