Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed MRI images and histopathology from 12 dogs with confirmed IVL, revealing specific brain and spinal cord lesions characterized by hyperintensities and changes indicative of vascular issues.
- The findings linked MRI features, like susceptibility artifacts and areas of infarction, to the unique blood vessel-targeting nature of IVL, highlighting ischemic and hemorrhagic influences caused by neoplastic infiltration in the affected areas.
