Dogs referred to the Radiology Department of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital between 2020 and 2022 for the detection of lung lesions were included in the study. The characteristics of the lung lesions were assessed using radiography as a screening tool for localization, B-mode ultrasound for tissue characterization, and subsequently, both qualitative (elastogram grades 1-3) and quantitative (shear wave velocity-SWV) elastographic evaluations. The lesions were classified based on clinical, ultrasound, radiographic, histopathological, and/or cytological findings into the following categories: consolidations, atelectasis, or neoplasms (nodules and masses). Twenty-six dogs met the eligibility criteria and were included in the study. In some cases, the same dog had more than one type of lesion, resulting in the evaluation of 35 lung lesions: 13 masses, 8 nodules, 8 consolidations, and 4 areas of atelectasis. The quantitative elastographic evaluation revealed lower stiffness in atelectatic lesions (1.48 ± 0.35 m/s) compared with consolidations (2.94 ± 0.64 m/s), nodules (2.85 ± 1.40 m/s), and masses (3.13 ± 1.45 m/s), although no definitive diagnostic cut-off value was established, due to the limited number of benign lesions. The results suggest that ARFI elastography can be a valuable complementary tool alongside clinical data and conventional imaging techniques in assessing lung lesions in dogs. Future studies with a larger sample size of benign parenchymal lung lesions are needed to further explore the potential of elastography for predicting malignancy.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70031"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12054698/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144029517","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}

In this prospective pilot study, gallbladder opacification (GBO) and small intestinal luminal opacification (SILO) were assessed to identify vicarious excretion patterns following intravenous contrast media administration for CT in clinically healthy dogs. Eight beagles were studied using a crossover method, divided into fed and fasted groups. The fed group was fed at 5 and 13 h after the first CT scan, while the fasted group was fed only at 13 h. Noncontrast and postcontrast CT scans were performed at 90 s, 10 min, 1 h, 4 h, 12 h, and 24 h after iohexol injection. The GBO was subjectively scored from grade 0 to 5 based on the attenuation value and area of opacification. The SILO was evaluated subjectively based on contrast intensity (weak or marked) and distribution. The GBO was observed from 1 h after contrast injection. Significant differences were noted in median GBO scores within the groups at 4, 12, and 24 h on Friedman's test followed by the post hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The scores were significantly higher in the fasted group at 12 h on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The SILO occurred 10 min after contrast administration, with various distributions. In conclusion, GBO and SILO can be observed during delayed CT phases, and fasting increases the intensity and duration of GBO in clinically healthy dogs. These findings should not be interpreted as pathological changes.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70033"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12046108/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050548","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}

However, imaging modalities have been reported to have up to a 19% discrepancy with surgical findings. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between cervical CT and surgical findings in diagnosing primary hyperparathyroidism. Twenty client-owned dogs with suspected primary hyperparathyroidism were enrolled. Each dog underwent a cervical CT scan under sedation or anesthesia that was interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. Subsequently, all dogs underwent bilateral cervical exploration by a board-certified surgeon or a residency-trained surgery clinician. The laterality, position, and size of suspected parathyroid nodules were recorded from both CT and surgery. Agreement between the two methods was assessed using Cohen's kappa statistic for laterality and position, and Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) for size. Results showed near-perfect agreement for laterality (κ = 0.81) and position (κ = 0.92), but only fair agreement for gland size (CCC = 0.38). Additionally, in five cases, pathologic parathyroid or thyroid tissue was removed during surgery that was not identified on CT. These findings suggest that while CT provides better agreement than ultrasound for certain aspects of parathyroid pathology, continued bilateral cervical exploration remains essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70044"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144036443","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}

Positron emission tomography (PET) has the potential to detect lesions that may exhibit little to no visible findings on other commonly used diagnostic imaging modalities. The aim of this retrospective descriptive study was to assess 18F-Sodium Fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake associated with surgical implants in dogs. Medical records were searched for canine patients with orthopedic metallic implants in place imaged with 18F-NaF PET/CT. PET images were reviewed blinded to clinical history, with each surgical implant assessed for the presence of increased radiopharmaceutical uptake (IRU). IRU was graded subjectively regarding the severity (absent, mild, moderate, severe) and the extent area (focal, multifocal, extensive), and objectively by measuring maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax). Seven patients were included, with a total of 39 metallic implants used in eight surgical procedures (three total hip replacements, three humeral fractures, one tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, and one tibial tuberosity advancement). In 24 of 39 implants (62%), no IRU was displayed. Fifteen implants (38%) displayed IRU (five mild, five moderate, five severe). The highest SUVmax (24) was associated with confirmed sepsis of a total hip replacement implant. The remaining implants with severe IRU were articular implants with associated marked degenerative joint pathology. This study confirms that most implants displayed no IRU with 18F-NaF PET. The presence of implant-associated IRU may indicate implant failure; however, IRU may also be due to regional bone pathology, including both degenerative joint disease and sepsis.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70026"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144080831","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}

Complementary projections make significant contributions to radiographic diagnosis in nasal conchae disorders. This article describes a complementary radiographic projection designed for the evaluation of the conchal sinuses and bullae in horses. Six equine cadaveric heads were used. Specimens were dissected, and openings were created in the ventral and dorsal nasal conchae for the introduction of radiopaque material. The new radiographic projection was named lateral 75° dorsal-lateral ventral oblique view. This projection was obtained with the mandibular rami resting on the imaging plate and the mandible displaced toward the side of interest (partial excursion). The X-ray beam was directed dorsoventrally, slightly angled toward the side of interest (left or right offset mandible dorsoventral view), and centered at an imaginary line connecting the tips of the facial crests. The lateral 75° dorsal-lateral ventral oblique view provided enhanced visualization and allowed correct identification of equine conchal structures. Lateral displacement of the mandible and the 75° angle of inclination to the vertical plane eliminated the superimposition of anatomical structures, facilitating radiographic image interpretation and increasing diagnostic accuracy. This complementary projection is recommended in all cases of sinonasal disorders in horses.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":"66 3","pages":"e70046"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12081783/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144080832","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}
