Q

Hart et al: US appearance of outer medulla in dogs without renal dysfunction, What is the diffference between a hyperechoic outer medulla vs a medullary rim sign vs medullary band?

A

Medullary rim is a thin line of increased medullary echogenicity

Hyperechoic outer medulla is a increase of echogenicity between the outer medulla and the cortex.

Medullary band is a hyperechoic band that is more central in the inner medulla (LEPTO!!)

  3. Central hypoperfused areas
  4. Infiltration of the larygeal wall (all of them)

Q

Rossi et al: CT ectopic thyroid neoplasia: Where was the common site for mets?

A

Retropharyngeal LN

Lung

94
Q

Lautenschlager et al: CT and 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy in hyperthyroid cats: What can CT be reliable in correctly identifying?

A

CT can reliably identify the more active thyroid lobe. (by size and echogencity).

IT cannot differentiate unilateral vs bilateral disease

95
Q

Lautenschlager et al: CT and 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy in hyperthyroid cats: What is the common attenuation pattern of the hyperthyroid thyroid lobes on CT? Where are the thyroids located?

A

Heterogeneous attenuation pattern with a mean HU of 61.6. (normal is homogeneously hyperattenuating (123.2 HU is normal attenuation value))

Dorsolateral to the trachea between the 2nd and 4th cervical vertebrae.

96
Q

Ruth et al: Effects of anisotrophy and spatial compounding on renal cotical echogenicity in dogs: what effects the echogenicity of the cortex?

A

Angle of the probe (insonation) to the tubules

90º is echogenic

0º is less echogenic

97
Q

Citi et al: Micronodular US lesions in the colonic submucosa of cats and dogs: What structures do these likely represent and what does it indicate?

A

Intraparietal lymphoid follicles (most resolved)

May indicate colonic inflammatory disease in dogs and cats. (most cats were presented for diarrhea)

98
Q

Feeney et al: US and FNA of peritoneal and mesenteric disease: What criteria was more associated with peritoneal neoplasia?

A
  1. Organ associated masses or nodules
  2. Aggregated bowel
  3. Peritoneal thickening
99
Q

Feeney et al: US and FNA of peritoneal and mesenteric disease: What criteria was more associated with peritoneal inflammatory disease?

A

Localized

Severely complex fluid collections

100
Q

Feeney et al: US and FNA of peritoneal and mesenteric disease: What was the diagnostic yield of peritoneal FNA?

A

72% - so worth your while

101
Q

Rousset et al: MRI characteristics of injection site sarcoma in 19 cats: Multiple tumors were more likely to have had what previous?

A

Excisional biopsy

102
Q

Rousset et al: MRI characteristics of injection site sarcoma in 19 cats: What are the characterisitcs?

A
  1. All are hyperintense on T1 and T2
  2. Mineralization was associated with size (larger had more mineralization)
  3. Marked heterogeneous CE
  4. Infiltrative margins and presence of T2 peripheral hyperintense zone was more prevalent following excisional biopsies while cavitation were more prevalent following incisional biopsy.
103
Q

Piesnack et al: Does 0.5T or 3.0T affect microchips?

A

No

104
Q

Beukers et al: CT characterisitics of presumed normal canine abdominal lymph nodes: What were the lymph nodes that were seen in all dogs?

A

Left and right medial iliac

At least two jejunal lymph nodes

105
Q

Beukers et al: CT characterisitics of presumed normal canine abdominal lymph nodes: What made it possible to see significantly more lymph nodes?

A

Abdominal fat content.

106
Q

Beukers et al: CT characterisitics of presumed normal canine abdominal lymph nodes: What is the normal before and after contrast mean attenuation of lymph nodes in the abdomen?

A

37 HU pre-contrast

109 HU post-contrast Homogeneous CE

107
Q

Shanaman et al: Comparison of modalities in dogs with acute abdominal signs: Ultrasound understimated what of lesions compared to CE-MDCT?

A

Size and number of lesions

108
Q

Shanaman et al: Comparison of modalities in dogs with acute abdominal signs: CEUS was able to detect what compared to CE-MDCT?

A

Bowel and pancreatic perfusion deficits

109
Q

Shanaman et al: Comparison of modalities in dogs with acute abdominal signs: What was the accuracy for differentiating surgical vs non-surgical conditions for CT, US and rads?

A

100% CT

94% US

94% Rads

110
Q

Gerlach et al: MRI of pulp in normal and diseased equine teeth: What was the reliable criterion for diagnosing dental disease on MRI?

A

Enlarged blurred pulp with low signal intesity.

Partial and complete absence of the pulp was seen in both diseased and non-diseased teeth.

111
Q

Intercarpal ligments can be grouped into three groups…what are they?

A
  1. Dorsal
  2. Interosseous
  3. Palmar

Dorsal and interosseous are smaller and maintain alignment

Palmar intercarpal ligaments prevent hyperextension.

Most commonly talked about is the medial and lateral palmar intercarpal ligament. And these are hard to see on arthroscopy so they need imaging.

112
Q

What intercarpal ligments can bee identified on CT arthrography?

A

Lateral and medial palmar intercarpal ligments

Radiocarpal and transverse intercarpal ligaments (multiple trans lig. All inbetween the carpal bones)

palmar carpal ligamnet

Communication with the synovium and the proximal suspensory was also noted.

113
Q

Beccati et al: US vs Rads when detecting trochlear ridge OCD: What radiographic view should be used?

A

Lateral

DM-P60ºL

114
Q

Beccati et al: US vs Rads when detecting trochlear ridge OCD:What modality was the preferred mehod for predicting presence and severity of OC lesions on the trochlear ridges?

A

US

100% sensitivity

82% specificity

Excellent agreement with arthroscopy.

Rads are not far behind though

115
Q

Can a lung herinate into the bronchi?

A

Yes.. it did in a gecko. Caused hyperinflation of the lung and displacement of the esophagus.

116
Q

Differentials for unstructured interstitial disease?

A
  1. Fibrosis
  2. non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
  3. inflammation
  4. PTE
  5. Toxin
  6. Neoplasia
  7. Hemorrhage
  8. SIRS, Sepsis, TRALI
117
Q

A

Cervical region C3-C6.
