Q

What is the ratio of bronchial wall thickness to pulmonary artery diameter on CT images that will give 77% sensitivity and 100% specificity in predicting the presence of chronic bronchitis in the CRANIAL lung lobes in dogs?

A

>0.6 Radiographs are bad at predicting this (65% sensititve) so trying to make an objective measure.

Q

What could cause abnormal bronchial wall thickness to pulmonary artery diameter on CT images that is not related to bronchial disease?

A

Pulmonary hypertension -

Echocardiogram is recommended

Measuring wrong

A

Wall involvement

Tumor >20mm

Trigone region

Necrosis was significantly linked to poor prognosis.

30
Q

Hanazono et al: US prog factors of TCC in dogs, high mitotic index was observed in cases with what US findings?

A

Trigone location

Q

Bradbury et al: Prostatomegaly/prostatic mineralization and diagnosis in dogs, Mineralization in a neutered dog had a PPV of what for prostatic neoplasia? NPV? sensitivity and specificity?

A

100% - PPV****

50% - NPV

84% - Senstivity

100% - Specificity****

33
Q

Bradbury et al: Prostatomegaly/prostatic mineralization and diagnosis in dogs, Mineralization in an intact dog had a PPV of what for prostatic neoplasia? NPV? sensitivity and specificity?

A

22% - PPV 96% - NPV**** 67% - Sensitivity 77% - Specificity They included paraprostatic cysts for mineralization and no cancer.. Therefore, PPV may be more.
