Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of CT scans in identifying the locations of liver masses in dogs, finding an overall accuracy of 74.3% for lobes and 88% for divisions of the liver.
- It also noted differences in accuracy among various liver lobes, with the left lateral lobe showing the highest accuracy, while the quadrate and right lateral lobes had significantly lower accuracy rates.
- Lastly, the agreement among radiologists was generally good to excellent for divisions, but more variable for lobe localization, indicating that division-based localization is more reliable.
Chiari-like malformation (CM) and syringomyelia (SM) are common illnesses that can cause debilitating neuropathic pain in Cavalier King Charles spaniels (CKCS). The current imaging modality to screen CKCS for CM/SM is MRI of the brain and cervical spine. Magnetic resonance imaging provides good soft tissue detail and contrast of the cerebellum and cervical spinal cord.
