Jung et al: CT for PTE and HW, what arteries were most affected by a PTE in dogs with HW?
Right caudal arteries
Jung et al: CT for PTE and HW, what arteries were most affected causing dilation and tortuosity in dogs with HW?
Right caudal arteries.
Jung et al: CT for PTE and HW, what were some weird changes on CT after an experimental PTE was made?
Pneumothorax Cavity formation
Jung et al: CT for PTE and HW, Signs of a PTE on CT?
Dilated arteries
Filling defect
Triangular pulmonary infarcts
Straght and abrupt cut-off appearances to the artery.
Grifffin et al; Bone scans (99mTc HDP) following peroneal nerve blocks in horses, what percentage of the time did the focal nerve block cause focal MSK uptake?
50% of the time on day 1.
25% on day 3
Grifffin et al; Bone scans (99mTc HDP) following peroneal nerve blocks in horses, what percentage of the time did the focal nerve block cause focal MSK uptake that looked like a tibial lesion?
20% of the time on day 1 and 3
Grifffin et al; Bone scans (99mTc HDP) following peroneal nerve blocks in horses, What was the farthest time period postblock was there MSK uptake noted?
7 days in this study.
So ideally bone scan would be performed >7 days post blocking
Grifffin et al; Bone scans (99mTc HDP) following peroneal nerve blocks in horses, a higher dose of anesthetic meant what on the bone scan?
High uptake on the bone scan.
Lee et al: Iohexol effect on 99mTc 04 scns in normal cats, Did the iohexol administration (880mgI/kg) screw up the thyroid scan based on T:S ratio and %total uptake?
No… none of the parameters fell below normal limits and there for never affected the 99mTc study
Lee et al: Iohexol effect on 99mTc 04 scns in normal cats, what radiopharm for the thyroid is trapped, and what ones are trapped and organified?
99mTc04- is trapped only
I123 and I131 are trapped and organified.
Lee et al: Iohexol effect on 99mTc 04 scns in normal cats, What is the normal percent thyroid uptake values (%TU) in cats at 20min post injection?
0-1% corrected for ST depth, background noise and decay
0-2% when corrected for just background
Lee et al: Iohexol effect on 99mTc 04 scns in normal cats, Normal range for T:S ratio in cat is at 20min?
0.5-1.0
Dennison et al: CT techniques for Acute canine myelopathy; What are the three reasons to do a CT myelogram after having a negative CT (no extradural disc compression)?
Nonchrondrodystrophic dog
No lesion was identified
If there was an extradural compressive lesion but so much spinal cord swelling that you couldn’t tell.
Jung et al: CT for PTE and HW, how long does it take for the alveolar pattern created by a PTE on rads to go away?
4-7 days
Seiler et al: US findings of preclinical renal dysplasia: What were the common findings of preclinical renal dysplasia?
Poor corticomedullary definition
Multifocal hyperechoic speckles in the renal medulla
Hyperechoic medulla
Seiler et al: US findings of preclinical renal dysplasia: Severity of US findings related to severity of what?
Histopath findings.
Seiler et al: US findings of preclinical renal dysplasia: If only taking cortical biopsy samples then you must wait until what age and why?
You must wait til 6 months of age.
Because cortical samples only sample the glomeruli and dysplasia is characterized by persistant fetal glomeruli past 6 months of age.
Stahl et al: MRI features of Gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy in herding dogs: What were the imaging characteristics of gastrocnemius musculotendionpathy?
T2, T2* and STIR hyperintesity of the LATERAL head of the gastrocnemius muscle AROUND the sesamoid bone and tapering distally
T1 is iso-hyperintense
This is likely a musculotendinous strain.
Stahl et al: MRI features of Gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy in herding dogs: What breed was affiliated with this disease?
Border Collies
Stahl et al: MRI features of Gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy in herding dogs: What radiographic evidence of total or partial avulsion of the medial or lateral head of the gastroc is seen?
Distal displacement of the sesmoid bone.
Where does the gastrocenumius arise from and where does it insert?
Origin: Lateral and medial supracondylar tuberosity of the femur
Insertion: Tuber calcanei
Stahl et al: MRI features of Gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy in herding dogs: What was the common radiographic finding in this group of dogs?
Abnormalities in the lateral sesmoid bone with mineralization of the surrounding tissues.
Stahl et al: MRI features of Gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy in herding dogs: What characteristics of muscles cause them to be more susceptible to stains?
Extend past two joints
Long fusiform shape
Composition of type II fast contracting
Eccentric contracttion (fibers forced to lengthen during contraction)
Muscle: Gastroc, Hamstrings, biceps brachii
Penninick et al: US appearance of intestinal mucosal fibrosis cats; What is the appearance of mucosal fibrosis in cats?
Mucosal hyperechoic band paralleling the submucosa
