This study describes the feasibility of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnostic work-up non-cardiac thoracic disorders small animals. The second aim is to assess usefulness CEUS as a direct guide for sample procedures.Forty animals, 28 dogs and 12 cats, were included study. Thoracic 23 pulmonary lesions [primary carcinoma (14), lymphoma (1), sarcoma histiocytic abscess (1) pneumonia (5)] 17 mediastinal [lymphoma (8), thymoma (3), mesothelioma melanoma carcinomatous...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and interobserver variability of survey thoracic radiography (STR) for detection heart base masses (HBMs) in dogs. DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. ANIMALS 30 dogs with an HBM 120 breed-matched control (60 healthy 60 disease no HBM). PROCEDURES In a blinded manner, 2 observers (designated as A B) evaluated STR views from each dog mass-like opacity cranial to heart, tracheal deviation, cardiomegaly, findings suggestive...
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ultrasonographic (US) diffuse honeycomb pattern (HCP) spleen and a pathological diagnosis in cats, assess influence transducer type on HCP visualisation. Methods Abdominal ultrasounds cats with an were reviewed splenic size, shape, margination, other parenchymal alterations hilar lymphadenopathy recorded. When applicable, images acquired high-frequency linear curvilinear transducers compared determine if more...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to describe B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound (US) features gastric lymphoma in cats. Methods Cats with histopathological or cytological confirmation that underwent abdominal US were included retrospective study. Clinical signs recorded radiographs reviewed when available. Gastric lesions ultrasonographically evaluated for location, distribution, wall layering, echogenicity thickness. Colour assessment based on vessels, location direction. Results...
Tumors of adrenal and thyroid glands have been associated with vascular invasions-so-called tumor thrombi, both in humans dogs. The detection characterization venous thrombi is an important diagnostic step patients primary tumors for surgical planning prognosis. aim this study was to describe the use contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) thrombi. Dogs thrombus who underwent bi-dimensional ultrasound (B-mode US) CEUS were included. Seven dogs enrolled retrospective case series. On B-mode...
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is increasingly available to evaluate dogs with suspected adrenal disease, however, published studies describing the reproducibility of CT methods for quantifying gland (AG) measurements are lacking. This prospective, pilot, observer agreement study aimed and repeatability two different measurement AGs on establish a usable technique define standard reference ranges. Multiplanar reformatted (MPR) images both six large breed were obtained MPR axis parallel...
A 4-year-old intact female domestic short-haired cat was referred for recommendations about adjuvant medical treatment 1 month after left forelimb amputation due to periarticular histiocytic sarcoma (HS). At presentation, physical abnormalities were limited enlarged ipsilateral superficial cervical and axillary lymph nodes. Routine blood analysis, abdominal ultrasound, thoracic radiology unremarkable. The initially received lomustine without any adverse events. Four weeks later, the...
Abstract Mediastinal cysts (MCs) are rare lesions that can arise from embryonic remnants of various mediastinal structures. MCs usually incidental findings in dogs and cats; however, they reach a mass‐like appearance. The description on CT is limited. This retrospective, single‐center, descriptive, prevalence study aimed to determine the presumed (PMCs) assess their characteristics. Dogs underwent thoracic scan January 2019 August 2021 were included. images evaluated for presence PMCs by two...
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, female French bulldog was evaluated for left‐sided congestive heart failure. diagnosis of bronchoesophageal artery hypertrophy with systemic‐to‐pulmonary shunt made. Even though Doppler echocardiographic findings were in favour a left‐to‐right shunting patent ductus arteriosus, the exploratory thoracotomy highlighted more complex vascular anomaly. An angiographic computed tomography study allowed to establish final diagnosis. Bronchial‐to‐pulmonary shunts can mimic...
The aim of this study was to describe the results two-dimensional (2D) and contrast-enhancement ultrasound (CEUS) in four cats with intestinal ischaemia.
