The purpose of this retrospective case series study is to determine the prevalence of CT changes consistent with feline lower airway disease (FLAD; feline asthma/chronic bronchitis) in cats with inflammatory upper airway disease including otitis media. Included were 549 cats with clinical complaints of inflammatory upper airway disease and/or otitis media and CT examinations of the head, neck, and thorax. CT examinations were reviewed for changes consistent with inflammatory upper airway disease (rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, otitis media) and FLAD. Odds ratios for FLAD were calculated for cats with rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, or otitis media and cats with a combination of rhinitis and otitis media. Rhinitis was diagnosed in 348 cats, nasopharyngitis in 253 cats, otitis media in 287 cats, and FLAD in 338 cats. The odds ratio for the concurrent presence of FLAD in cats with rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, or otitis media were 1.62, 1.46, and 1.46, respectively. The odds ratio for FLAD for cats with a combination of rhinitis and otitis media was 2.27. Otitis media was found to be an independent risk factor for FLAD. CT evidence of FLAD is common in cats with inflammatory upper airway disease, and especially in cats with a combination of rhinitis and otitis media. These findings strongly suggest the presence of United Airway Disease in cats.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70032"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty dogs who underwent abdominal delayed CT in the 10 min-delayed phase following the injection of contrast medium were enrolled. Six dogs were classified into the group with enteropathy based on imaging findings or abnormal results from cytology or histology. The six dogs had concurrent hypoalbuminemia and were diagnosed with presumed PLE. Five of the six dogs in the group with enteropathy had intestinal VCME. In the 24 dogs of the group without enteropathy, intestinal VCME was not detected on delayed CT, and VCME to the cisterna chyli was observed in one dog. The frequency of intestinal VCME was significantly higher in the group with enteropathy than in the group without enteropathy (p < .001). The presence of intestinal VCME on the delayed CT can be observed in dogs with PLE, and it can be used as noninvasive additional supportive evidence of canine PLE prior to histopathologic evaluation.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70039"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12059201/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iatrogenic causes are the most common source of nontraumatic PR reported in humans. PR has been recognized in dogs undergoing routine CT. This study aims to identify the cause, prevalence, and distribution of PR and intraforaminal gas in dogs undergoing CT and identify any immediate post-CT complications. The medical records of dogs who underwent CT of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis were retrospectively reviewed. Dogs were excluded if they presented with a history of trauma, neurologic deficits, recent surgery, or epidural injection. PR and intraforaminal gas were identified as present or absent and quantified subjectively. Patient positioning, intravenous catheter location, and complications in the 24 h following CT were recorded. 50/263 (19%) dogs with PR met the inclusion criteria. All dogs with PR had CT performed in sternal recumbency. Catheters were evenly distributed in laterality of placement, yet PR was predominantly right-sided (74%). The volume of gas identified was mild (87%) or moderate (13%). An increase in the amount of PR in postcontrast images was documented in 13 cases (20%). Intraforaminal gas was identified in 16.3% of dogs, and 88.4% had right-sided intraforaminal gas. No dogs developed neurologic deficits 24 h post-CT. The prevalence of PR and intraforaminal gas in this study was significantly higher than previously documented. Intravascular right-sided gas is proposed to be secondary to the ipsilateral location of the azygous vein and of no clinical significance.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70037"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144016818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this prospective method comparison study were to perform qualitative and quantitative comparisons of standard MR sequences with three short/ultra-short TE MR sequences using CT as the gold standard. Eight healthy research dogs of similar size had CT and MR of the head performed. Three short/ultra-short TE sequences, VIBE, PETRA, and UTE, alongside standard T2W, PD, and T1W TSE sequences of the head were obtained. Slice thickness of CT and short TE MR sequences were matched. A qualitative scale was used to assess the visibility of cortical margins and skull foramina. For the quantitative assessment, predetermined osseous structures and foramina on designated slices were measured. Levene's test and post hoc folded F tests with false discovery rate adjustments were applied to the residuals from these models to compare precision relative to CT across the sequence types. The short/ultra-short TE MR sequences were significantly better than the standard MR sequences for quantitative assessment of bone thickness of smaller structures and overall qualitative assessment. Any of these short/ultra-short TE sequences may be viable to incorporate into a clinical setting as an alternative to CT to help further evaluate the skull and reduce anesthesia time and client cost. VIBE, PETRA, and UTE sequences have diagnostic image quality and provide a consistent quantitative and qualitative assessment of the cortical bone of the skull when compared with CT.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70035"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12048040/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HSVR shows excellent agreement with the vertebral heart size (VHS), and it can also be accurately determined in dogs with vertebral abnormalities affecting the thoracic spine. This retrospective, single-center, method-comparison, observer-agreement study investigated the reliability of the HSVR in cats. Three observers retrospectively evaluated anonymized right-lateral thoracic radiographs obtained over a set period of time. Exclusion criteria included the presence of thoracic spine alterations and the inability to outline the cardiac silhouette. The HSVR was calculated by dividing the sum of the cardiac long and short axes by the length of each vertebral body from T4 to T8. Images of 101 cats of different breeds met the inclusion criteria. Lin's concordance correlation coefficient and the relative 95% confidence interval (CI) revealed that the HSVRT6 showed the best agreement with the VHS (0.95; 95% CI: 0.91-0.97). Bland-Altman plots showed low bias (-0.023 ± 0.19; limits of agreement = -0.39 to 0.35) between the HSVRT6 and the VHS, with low mean absolute error (0.14; 95% CI: 0.12-0.17) between the two methods. The intraclass correlation coefficients, evaluated on 20 cats, demonstrated excellent interobserver agreement (0.95-0.96; p < .001) and good to excellent intraobserver agreement (0.75-0.94; p < .001) for all HSVRs. The results of this study confirmed that the HSVR is a simple, quick, and reliable alternative to the VHS also in cats.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70042"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12053141/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143984255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
