There was one stereotactic body radiotherapy, one conventionally fractionated definitive intent, and three conventionally fractionated palliative intent RT cases. Based on repeated cone beam CT, there were no treatment table shifts required prior to initiating beam on. No clinically significant complications such as hypotension occurred during anesthesia. This technique appeared to be safe in this group of patients and was easily clinically implemented and highly reproducible. More complete follow-up data and larger studies are needed to evaluate clinical outcomes with this breath-hold ventilator technique in veterinary RT.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141617187","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}

Consequently, we developed a new reusable head-immobilization method for dogs using cylinders. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of our novel immobilization method using cylinders with that of bite-block type immobilization methods. Three immobilization methods were compared: bite-block only, bite-block combined with torso immobilization, and immobilization using cylinders. Five beagles with canine teeth underwent CT five times for each of the three immobilization methods. One beagle without canine teeth underwent CT 15 times using each method. Three maxillary landmarks (maxillary incisor, frontal sinus, and occipital bone) and one mandibular landmark (mandibular incisor) were established, and the errors in each immobilization method were measured. For all head landmarks, the error in the immobilization method using cylinders was the most reproducible, with the smallest errors. No significant differences were observed in the time required for immobilization. Although there were limitations (such as the use of dogs from a single breed, a single episode of anesthesia, no disassembly of the immobilization system between scans, and the same person performing the positioning on the same day), we found our new reusable immobilization method using cylinders was the most accurate among the three compared methods. This was a proof-of-principle study to evaluate head immobilization using cylinders, and further investigations are needed to confirm its clinical utility.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140330193","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}

In humans, the vertebral endplate to annulus fibrosus (AF) attachment was implicated as an alternative failure site besides rupture through the dorsal AF (AFF). Endplate junction failure (EPJF) is characterized by IVDH, accompanied by endplate irregularities (type A), rim avulsions (type B), or larger bony avulsions on one (type C) or both endplates (type D), associated with an adjacent endplate defect. This retrospective study reports the CT prevalence of presumed EPJF in dogs and its associations with signalment and other lumbosacral CT abnormalities. CT scans, including the lumbosacral spine of dogs obtained at two institutions, were assessed, yielding 324 scans. Presumed EPJF was found in 69 dogs (21%) and AFF in 68 dogs (21%), commonly at the caudal endplate of the last lumbar vertebra (71%). The remaining 187 dogs did not show presumed EPJF or AFF. Presumed EPJF type A occurred in 49/69, type B in 19/69, and type C in 1/69 dogs. Univariable logistic regression showed that presumed EPJF was associated with significantly higher IVDH grades than AFF. In the multiple regression model, presumed EPJF and AFF remained associated with increasing age and spondylosis deformans. Presumed EPJF was associated with vertebral endplate sclerosis and AFF with zygapophyseal joint osteoarthritis. In conclusion, presumed EPJF was observed on CT in 21% of dogs with lumbosacral IVDH. Prospective studies correlating EPJF on CT with clinical, surgical, and histopathological findings are needed for a better understanding of the underlying pathology and clinical relevance.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141506743","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 aim of this study was to evaluate the vertebral right heart index (VRHi) as a new quantitative radiographic method to detect RHE in dogs. This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study, including dogs with RHE and control dogs. All dogs had to have a thoracic radiographic study and a complete echocardiography on the same day. Right heart enlargement was defined as the presence of right atrial enlargement, right ventricular enlargement, and/or hypertrophy based on echocardiography. For the radiographic study, all the radiographic views available for each case were considered for measurement: right lateral (RL), left lateral (LL), ventrodorsal (VD), and dorsoventral (DV). The VRHi was measured using LL, RL, VD, and DV views. A total of 204 dogs were included: 91 dogs with RHE and 113 control dogs. The VRHi (RL), the VRHi (LL), and the VRHi (VD) were significantly greater in dogs with RHE compared with controls (P < .0001). The best diagnostic accuracy was observed for VRHi (LL) (area under the curve [AUC] 0.86, P < .0001; cutoff ≥ 3.5 vertebrae, sensitivity [Se] 71%, specificity [Sp] 89%), followed by VRHi (RL) (AUC 0.85, P < .0001; cutoff ≥ 3.5 vertebrae, Se 68%, Sp 86%) and VRHi (VD) (AUC 0.80, P = .0004; cutoff ≥ 3.0 vertebrae, Se 57%, Sp 95%). In conclusion, the lateral VRHi in LL and RL and the VD VRHi could represent useful radiological tools for the detection of RHE in dogs.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141506746","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}

Prior research found strong relationships between in vitro strength of canine antebrachii with primary bone tumors and CT‐derived metrics. This study assesses the prognosis for pathologic fracture in dogs with distal radial bone tumors using CT‐derived structural analysis metrics. CT images of the antebrachium in dogs with aggressive osseous lesions of the radius were used to calculate structural rigidity and failure forces, including axial rigidity (AR), craniocaudal bending rigidity (BR), torsional rigidity (TR), and failure forces for a slightly‐curved/asymmetric beam (Fs) or a curved beam (Fc). Metrics were compared with the clinical outcome of radial fracture. Eight of 19 dogs with CT‐derived metrics developed a radial fracture. The prognostic potential of the metrics to discriminate fractured and nonfractured bones was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves (area under the curve), stepwise logistic regression, and classification regression (CART) analyses. Fc was the most sensitive and specific metric for prognosing fracture occurrence (AUC = 0.864). When dog body weight (BW) was included, all five metrics had AUC > 0.705. Fc was the best predictor of fracture using stepwise logistic regression and CART analysis, followed by BR. An indication of fracture probability can be determined by normalizing Fc or BR with dog BW or by using the logistic regression equation of either metric with dog BW. Results warrant further analysis of a larger cohort to evaluate fracture likelihood in dogs with antebrachial bone neoplasia.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141530549","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}

Additionally, changes in echogenicity were correlated with histology in 14 postmortem specimens. A scoring system of echogenicity change centered on the mucosa and submucosa of the PDJ was implemented; 0: no change, 1: mild, 2: moderate to marked. Other included parameters were age, sex, breed, gastric distention, gastric contents, and reported vomiting at the time of presentation. Hyperechogenicity of the PDJ was highly prevalent (scores 1 and 2: 85.7%). No statistical association between hyperechogenicity of the PDJ and age, sex, gastric distention, gastric contents, or vomiting was identified. Hyperechogenicity of the PDJ is thought to represent an anatomical transition zone, and based on histology, hyperechogenicity of the PDJ may represent a variation in distribution and amount of fibrous connective tissue, glandular number, and glandular dilation within the submucosa and mucosa.","PeriodicalId":23581,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139900509","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}
