In dogs with relapse delay < 157 days, lesion number tended to decrease. Residual lesions tended to enlarge and exhibit contrast enhancement and perilesional edema (suggesting an active pathologic process), but without development of new lesions. After 233 days, all dogs had developed new lesions. Half exhibited enlarged active residual lesions, whereas the others showed either remission or smaller inactive lesions.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Before a clinical relapse at approximately 6 months, remission of the initial pathologic process and development of new lesions appear unlikely. Beyond this period, new lesions may occur with or without remission of the initial pathologic process, and repeat MRI is of high diagnostic and clinical value in detecting new lesions and characterizing the underlying pathologic process.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine","volume":"39 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jvim.70086","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818643","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}
