Relationships among neuroscore, magnetic resonance imaging features, and intracranial pressure in sheep affected by slow ‐growing brain lesions
In conclusion, this study shows that in sheep affected by slow‐growing lesions, severe alterations in the neuroscore and the results of objective MRI are related to an increased intracranial pressure beyond the normal threshold. (Source: Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound)

Real ‐time elastosonography of lipomatous vs. malignant subcutaneous neoplasms in dogs: Preliminary results
Abstract
Real‐time elastography is a recently introduced ultrasound technique allowing the investigation of elastic properties of tissues. A diagnostic accuracy study was conducted to test the performance of this technique in the assessment of subcutaneous lesions in dogs. Fifty‐two dogs were prospectively included in the preliminary study (34 malignant and 18 benign lesions). B‐mode ultrasound was performed assessing the shape, margins, heterogeneity, and echotexture of the lesions. On elastosonography, assessment of the percentage of softness/hardness was recorded. A qualitative assessment was performed according t...

Use of personal protective equipment in a radiology room at a veterinary teaching hospital
In conclusion, workers use personal protective equipment less frequently in an unsupervised environment, and overestimate their use of personal protective equipment. Use of sedation or anesthesia decreases worker exposure to ionizing radiation. (Source: Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound)

Interobserver reliability of computed tomographic contouring of canine tonsils in radation therapy treatment planning
Abstract
In radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning for canine head and neck cancer, the tonsils may be included as part of the treated volume. Delineation of tonsils on computed tomography (CT) scans is difficult. Error or uncertainty in the volume and location of contoured structures may result in treatment failure. The purpose of this prospective, observer agreement study was to assess the interobserver agreement of tonsillar contouring by two groups of trained observers. Thirty dogs undergoing pre‐ and post‐contrast CT studies of the head were included. After the pre‐ and postcontrast CT scans, the tonsils were...

Safety and feasibility of stereotactic radiotherapy using computed portal radiography for canine intracranial tumors
Abstract
Stereotactic radiotherapy is a highly conformal treatment option for intracranial and extracranial malignancies. Stereotactic radiotherapy utilizes specialized equipment specifically designed to avoid normal tissue while delivering ablative treatments with submillimeter precision and accuracy. Linear accelerator based stereotactic radiotherapy incorporates on‐board image guidance utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CT). Many institutions lack the ability to provide image guidance with cone beam CT but delivery of highly conformal treatments with submillimeter precision and accuracy is still feasible. The pu...

Computed tomographic characteristics of pneumolabyrinth in a French bulldog with otitis media and externa
Abstract
A four‐year‐old female French bulldog was presented for evaluation of acute, left‐sided peripheral vestibular syndrome. Computed tomographic (CT) examination of the head revealed the presence of air within the left cochlea and vestibule, consistent with pneumolabyrinth. This was concurrent with ipsilateral otitis media and externa. Pneumolabyrinth is an uncommon finding in humans and is most frequently due to head trauma and temporal bone fracture. This is the first report describing pneumolabyrinth in a dog, apparently of nontraumatic origin in this case. (Source: Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound)

Triple phase computed tomography of the pancreas in healthy cats
Abstract
While the availability and use of computed tomography (CT) continues to grow, no study has described the size and multiphase CT appearance of the normal feline pancreas. This information is important to not only allow more accurate identification and differentiation of disease, but it may also be useful in assessing pancreatic function. In this prospective analytical study, we described a triple phase CT protocol of the pancreas for use in sedated cats and the attenuation, enhancement pattern, size, and volume of the pancreas for a group of healthy cats. Fifteen healthy cats were enrolled in the study and a standa...

Investigation of parameters predicting the need for diagnostic imaging beyond computed tomography in the evaluation of dogs with thoracolumbar myelopathy: Retrospective evaluation of 555 dogs
Abstract
Thoracolumbar myelopathy encompasses a number of disease processes such as intervertebral disc disease, discospondylitis, trauma, congenital malformations, neoplasia, and intramedullary spinal cord disease. Compressive disc herniations are most common in dogs and require imaging procedures such as myelography, computed tomography (CT), and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the need and location for decompressive surgery. The purposes of this retrospective, cross‐sectional study were to evaluate all dogs undergoing thoracolumbar CT imaging as the initial diagnostic step between 2010 and 2015 and de...

Accuracy of 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging using detection of fiber loss and a visual analog scale for diagnosing partial and complete cranial cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs
Abstract
Canine cranial cruciate ligament rupture is often bilateral and asymmetrical, ranging from partial to complete rupture. The purpose of our diagnostic accuracy study was to assess the accuracy of 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of fiber loss and use of a visual analog scale in the diagnosis of complete versus partial cranial cruciate ligament rupture in 28 clinical dogs with unilateral complete rupture and contralateral partial rupture. Three Tesla MRI was performed on 56 stifles using sagittal sequences (T2‐weighted fast spin echo with fat saturation, proton density fast spin echo, and T2‐we...
