Question 1

Lee et al 2022; 3.0-Tesla MRI of normal canine adrenal glands: Which sequence allowed the best visualization of the adrenal glands? What sequence allowed visualization of corticomedullary definition?

Answer 1

1) 2D TSE
2) T2W imaging. The medulla is T2 hyperintense.

Question 2

Lee et al 2022; 3.0-Tesla MRI of normal canine adrenal glands: Which sequence can be used to avoid chemical shift, long anesthesia time, or if respiration is not well controlled?

Answer 2

SSTSE.

Question 3

Lee et al 2022; 3.0-Tesla MRI of normal canine adrenal glands: What sequences commonly have chemical shift? Why does it occur?

Answer 3

Gradient echo sequences.

They occur when fat and water are in the same voxel.

Thickness of this artifact is not affected by the increase of magnetic field strength but the spatial resolution of the sequence, echo time, field-of-view, and slice thickness

Question 4

Kaenkangploo et al 2022; Assessment of glomerular filtration rate measurement in dogs using dynamic contrast CT compared to serum iohexol clearance: Major finding?

Answer 4

Dynamic CT GFR calculations consistent underestimated GFR compared to serum iohexol clearance.

Question 5

Smith et al 2022; A common celiacomesenteric trunk is a rare anatomic variant in dogs: Was there an association between common celiacomesenteric trunk and PSS?

Answer 5

No.

Question 6

Israeliantz et al 2022; A simplified CT-volumetry method for the canine liver: Major finding?

Answer 6

Accurate liver volume estimates can be obtained with as few as 9 sagittal images.
