American College of Veterinary Radiology and European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging consensus statement on imaging report foundations.

Imaging reports are official medicolegal documents, detailing the conduct and interpretation of imaging studies in patient care. They serve as the primary means of communication for radiologists and significantly influence clinical decisions. This consensus statement, produced by a panel of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging board-certified veterinary radiologists through a modified Delphi method, addressed three key competency domains: basic patient care documentation, crafting meaningful reports, and ethical practice within legal boundaries.

Resolution of chronic regurgitation in an 8 month old Babydoll sheep by thoracoscopic treatment of a vascular ring anomaly.

Objective: The objective was to describe the successful thoracoscopic treatment of esophageal entrapment resulting from a vascular ring anomaly (VRA) comprising a persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) and left ligamentum arteriosum (LA) in a Babydoll sheep wether.

Study Design: Case report.

Animal: Eight month old Babydoll sheep wether, 13 kg.

Computed tomography of suppurative and neoplastic diseases involving the canine omenta and omental bursa.

The greater and lesser omenta are fused peritoneal folds that largely delimit the omental bursa (lesser peritoneal cavity). The omental bursa is a potential space within the abdominal cavity that communicates with the greater peritoneal cavity via the omental (epiploic) foramen: it is subdivided into the omental vestibule, caudal omental recess, and splenic recess. Aims of this retrospective case series study were to describe the frequencies of CT findings of dogs with confirmed inflammatory or neoplastic disease of the omenta, omental bursa, or both.

Canine intrahepatic portosystemic shunts: Interlobar and intralobar classifications.

This two-part study design showed that a canine congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (IPSS) may be classified by its location within a liver fissure (interlobar) or lobe (intralobar). A prospective anatomic study reviewed normal canine liver morphology and showed the CT angiography (CTA) appearance of the normal canine ductus venosus (DV), which was confirmed via dissection and literature review to be between the papillary process and left-lateral liver lobe (in the fissure for ligamentum venosum). A retrospective multi-institutional case series documented the frequency of imaging findings in 56 dogs with a single IPSS that underwent portal CTA at Cornell University or the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center between June 2008 and August 2022.

Anatomic study of the canine bronchial tree using silicone casts, radiography, and CT.

This prospective anatomic study examined the canine lower airway lumen morphology by visual inspection, radiography, and CT of silicone casts of two dogs. Study results showed the lobar, bronchopulmonary segmental, and pulmonary lobular organization of the lungs grossly reflected in the hierarchically clustered branching structure of the bronchial tree. Study results also provided a basis for differentiating bronchial and bronchiolar patterns.
