Transcallosal Removal of a Choroid Plexus Tumor From the Lateral Ventricle in a Dog. Case Report.

A 6-years-old female Staffordshire terrier was referred for periodic generalized seizures and asymmetric visual deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 23.2 × 19.

Benefits of respiratory navigation aided MRI in case of large abdominal tumors of canines: A case study.

Magnetic resonance imaging using respiratory navigation technique can be the number one diagnostic method determining operability of large-sized abdominal tumors of dogs. This technique eliminates motion artifacts and makes possible the visualization of the origin and extent of the tumor and of the possible abdominal metastases.

Dose planning with comparison to in vivo dosimetry for epithermal neutron irradiation of the dog brain.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental type of radiotherapy, presently being used to treat glioblastoma and melanoma. To improve patient safety and to determine the radiobiological characteristics of the epithermal neutron beam of Finnish BNCT facility (FiR 1) dose-response studies were carried on the brain of dogs before starting the clinical trials. A dose planning procedure was developed and uncertainties of the epithermal neutron-induced doses were estimated.

Late radiation effects in the dog brain: correlation of MRI and histological changes.

Purpose: To determine the correlation between sequential changes in the brain of dogs after irradiation, as detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the eventual appearance of histological lesions. Histology was performed 77-115 weeks after irradiation.

Materials And Methods: Groups of five beagle dogs were irradiated to the brain with single doses of 10, 12, 14 or 16 Gy of 6 MV photons, at the 100% iso-dose.
