To determine the incidence of adverse events within 24 hours after contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in dogs and cats compare risk death imaging for animals that underwent with without injection a contrast agent.Retrospective case-control study.750 (411 case dogs, 238 control 77 cats, cats).At 11 institutions, medical records were reviewed had CEUS performed (cases) as clinical signs similar to those agent (controls). Information regarding signalment; preexisting disease; type, dose,...
A 12-year-old, 4 kg, castrated male Persian cat was referred with a 2-month history of sneezing and bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge. Rhinoscopically acquired biopsies at this time revealed lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis. tapering dose oral prednisone caused the complete remission clinical signs, but 2 months after discontinuation therapy, rhinitis recurred OD became exophthalmic. Computed tomography showed soft tissue mass in both sides cavity, frontal sinuses, right orbit, to lesser...
We describe the computed tomography (CT) findings in 11 dogs with middle ear cholesteatoma. The cholesteatoma appeared as an expansile tympanic cavity mass a mean attenuation value of 55.8 +/- 4.2 Hounsfield units. There was no appreciable contrast enhancement bulla contense but ring seen four dogs. Due to slow progressive growth, lesion causes severe bone changes at contour bulla, including osteolysis, osteoproliferation and osteosclerosis, expansion cavity, sclerosis or ipsilateral...
Feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS) may be a consequence of subcutaneous injection. In the present study, medical records and computed tomography (CT) features 22 cats with FISS, histopathological subtype fibrosarcoma, were used. The majority fibrosarcomas (45%) located in interscapular region. All fibrosarcomas, except one mild enhancement, showed strong contrast uptake, characterised as ring (42%), heterogeneous (36%), homogeneous (9%), heterogeneous/ring (6.5%) or mixed...
Objective Wide surgery is the mainstay of multimodal treatment injection site sarcomas (ISS) in cats. The aim study was to analyze potential factors influencing development wound healing complications (WHC) cats undergoing wide excision ISS. Study design Retrospective case series. Animals Forty‐nine with ISS located on trunk underwent after contrast‐enhanced computed tomography planning. Methods prognostic effect covariates (sex, age, weight, body condition score (BCS), site, clinical...
Our aim was to evaluate the influence of glucocorticoids on adrenal gland using ultrasonography. Eleven healthy beagles were used in a prospective placebo‐controlled study. All dogs received hydrocortisone at 10 mg/kg twice day per os for 4 months or gelatin capsule as placebo. Clinical and endocrinologic examination ultrasonographic evaluation echogenicity, shape, measurement length height cranial caudal pole performed baseline (T0), 1 (T1) (T4) after beginning treatment, 2 end treatment...
A 12-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented with acute non-painful hindlimb proprioceptive ataxia localising to T3-L3 spinal cord segments. MRI revealed paravertebral muscular hyperintensity on T2-weighted images at the level of T7-T8 vertebrae. The improved conservative management but deteriorated 3 months later. Repeated showed meningeal enhancement same and musculature extending right thoracic wall pleural space short tau inversion recovery images. Thoracic CT mineralised lesions...
Abstract A recent publication described pathological findings in the pituitary gland incidentally discovered during routine necropsies of brain dogs and cats; however, imaging characteristics these lesions were not reported. Aims this retrospective, observational study to characterize MRI variants incidental glands with no clinical signs disease. Cranial MRIs from suspicion disease, based on history presenting signs, retrieved a veterinary teleradiology database period January 2014 2016....
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to describe the clinical presentation, advanced imaging findings and outcomes arthroscopic treatment a bacterial septic shoulder arthritis caused by penetration migrating plant awn in dog. Case Report A 10-month-old, 11 kg, sexually intact male Cocker Spaniel diagnosed with right scapulohumeral joint. Computed tomography revealed marked articular effusion thickening capsule Ultrasound identified bilinear hyperechoic structure located within joint...
Aim: Airway deformation was observed by means of CT scans in a rabbit model during Total Liquid Ventilation (TLV) with liquid perfluorocarbons (PFC). Methods: Thorax (130 kV, 150 mA, 2 mm thickness, ST 1.00, 0 index, high definition algorithm) were run TLV PFC (FC77, 3M Co.) on 5 adult New Zealand rabbits (body weight 3.2±0.5 kg), under general anesthesia. Series 30 performed the same section 3 different regions (trachea, carina, first bronchi). Scans ventilation optimal conditions (FRC=20...
Een losse processus anconeus, onderdeel van het elleboogdysplasiecomplex, is een frequent voorkomende orthopedische ontwikkelingsstoornis bij snelgroeiende jonge honden behorend tot grote en chondrodystrofe rassen. Proximale ulnaire osteotomie de mogelijke behandelingsmethoden, op voorwaarde dat dier nog niet volwassen is. Deze ingreep gericht herstellen lengteverhouding tussen radius ulna, waardoor opwaartse kracht, die anconeus veroorzaakt, opgeheven wordt. Door tevens kanteling olecranon...
