Q

Specchi et al: CT and US characteristics of Cavernous transformation of the obstructed portal vein in small animals: What is the difference between cavernous transformation and portosystemic collateral shunts?

A

Cavernous transformation is formed with hepatopetal (towards the head) flow

Collateral portosystemic shunts formed with hepatofugal flow (towards the feet) and occur with portal hypertension.

It does not make a valentine shaped heart - no effect

107
Q

Hammond et al: T2* in the spine of dogs and cats: when was a T2* sequence most useful?

A

Ambiguous lesions on standard imaging

Intramedullary lesions

Allows improved delineation of extradural material and more narrow list of DDX for intramedullary lesions.

108
Q

Hammond et al: T2* in the spine of dogs and cats: What is different between a T2 and T2* sequence?

A

T2 has a 180º refocusing pulse to null inhomogeneities so loss of transverse magnetization is due to spin-spin interaction.

T2* does not and therefore the result of transverse magnetization loss is due to both spin-spin interactions AND dephasing caused by local inhomogeneities.

109
Q

Hammond et al: T2* in the spine of dogs and cats: what commonly surrounded the material in the extradural space on T2* that helped distinguish cord from material?

A

Hypointense rim around the material.

110
Q

Ledda et al: MDCT patterns of bronchoeshageal artery hypertrophy and systemic to pulmonary fistulas in dogs: What patterns were noted in this study?

A

Pattern 1 - left bronchoesophageal artery normal branched from the dorsal intercostal artery or the descending aorta (between T5-T8) but was LARGER than normal as were the bronchila and esophageal branches which formed a dense network around the trachea and caudal esophagus. A vessel arised from this shit show and attached to the left or right pulmonary artery. The right bronchoesophageal artery arose from the brachiocephalic trunk to anastomose with the shit show. —- No lung disease was seen associated with this pattern.

Pattern 2 - Left and right bronchi branches of bother bronchoesophageal ateries had normal origins at T5-T8 but were prominent. They followed a tortous path along the bronchi and then anastomosed with subsegmental pulmonary arteries… Some protureded into the bronchial lumen. All dogs had lung or pleural disease and/or pulmonary thrombi.
