Dustin Dees D, Maclaren NE, Fritz KJ, et al. Vet Ophthalmol 2014;17:184-189. PURPOSE: To investigate the magnetic susceptibility artifact associated with pigmented intraorbital prosthetics when performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Potential artifact reduction techniques were also … Read More

Jokinen TS, Haaparanta-Solin M, Viitmaa R, et al. Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound 2014;55:331-341. Regional cerebral metabolism and blood flow can be measured noninvasively with positron emission tomography (PET). 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) widely serves as a PET tracer in human patients with … Read More

Oliveira M, De La Fuente C, Pumarola M, et al. Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound 2014;55:300-304. A 3-year-old, intact female Golden Retriever was presented with acute tetraplegia. Neurologic examination was consistent with a C1–C5 myelopathy. On magnetic resonance (MR) imaging a … Read More

Soffler C, Karpenstein H, Kramer M. Tierarztl Prax Ausg K Kleintiere Heimtiere 2014;42:88-93. OBJECTIVE: The intervertebral vacuum phenomenon (VP) in the dog describes an accumulation of gas in the intervertebral disc space. It occurs primarily after vaporization of solute gases … Read More

Rohdin C, Nyman HT, Wohlsein P, et al.  J Small Anim Pract 2014;55:229-234. Seven related young pugs were diagnosed with cervical spinal intradural arachnoid cysts by magnetic resonance imaging (n = 6) and myelography (n = 1). All dogs were … Read More

Borsody MK, Yamada C, Bielawski D, et al.  Stroke 2014;45:1102-1107. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Facial nerve stimulation has been proposed as a new treatment of ischemic stroke because autonomic components of the nerve dilate cerebral arteries and increase cerebral blood flow … Read More

Cooper JJ, Young BD, Griffin JFt, et al. Vet Radiol Ultrasound 2014;55:182-189. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly used to evaluate dogs with thoracolumbar myelopathy; however, relative diagnostic sensitivities for these two modalities have not been … Read More

Ives EJ, Rousset N, Heliczer N, et al. J Vet Intern Med 2014;28:522-528. BACKGROUND: No evidence-based guidelines are available for the administration of gadolinium-based contrast media to veterinary patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether administration of intravenous (IV) contrast media alters … Read More

Fan Z, Wang J, Ahn M, et al.  Neuromuscul Disord 2014;24:178-191. The goal of this study was to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers can quantify disease progression in golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) via a natural history study. … Read More

Jia H, Pustovyy OM, Waggoner P, et al. PLoS One 2014;9:e86362. We depend upon the olfactory abilities of dogs for critical tasks such as detecting bombs, landmines, other hazardous chemicals and illicit substances. Hence, a mechanistic understanding of the olfactory … Read More
