Anatomy of the congenital calcaneal bursae in the bovine.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the anatomical relationship of the congenital calcaneal bursae in the bovine, and describe the computed tomography (CT), endoscopic and gross anatomy of these bursae.

Study Design: Ex vivo experimental.

Sample Population: Eighteen clinically normal cadaver bovine hindlimbs.

Computed tomography of testicular torsion in a juvenile dog with unilateral cryptorchidism.

A 14-week-old male unilaterally cryptorchid Clumber spaniel was presented for acute lethargy. Physical examination revealed abdominal pain, and a single testis was palpated in the scrotum. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) revealed a poorly vascularized, ovoid structure immediately caudal to the left kidney with scant regional peritoneal effusion.

Long-term clinical and radiographic results after lag screw ostheosynthesis of short incomplete proximal sagittal fractures of the proximal phalanx in horses not used for racing.

Objective: To determine long term outcomes of nonracing equines athletes treated for short incomplete proximal sagittal fractures of the proximal phalanx (SIPSFP1) by lag screw fixation.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Sample Population: Thirty-one horses.

Assessing the Effect of Packing the Sulcus on Image Quality in Equine Digital Radiography.

The requirement to pack the sulcus of the equine foot as an aid to diagnostic interpretation before acquisition of dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique projections is debatable. The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefit of packing the sulcus in the assessment of normal anatomy. 23 cadaver limbs were radiographed in a podoblock (https://www.

Improved visualization of the lumbar spine nerve roots in dogs using water excitation (ProSet) as opposed to short tau inversion recovery: A retrospective study of two fat suppression MRI sequences.

Magnetic resonance imaging fat suppression techniques are commonly used for diagnosis of canine spinal disease, however, studies comparing different techniques are currently lacking. This retrospective, methods comparison study aimed to evaluate water excitation and STIR MRI pulse sequences for visualization of canine lumbar spinal nerve roots. For inclusion, all dogs had to have dorsal planar MRI studies of the lumbar spine using both sequences.

Use of computed tomography for measurement of kidneys in dogs without renal disease.

OBJECTIVE To determine the size of the left and right kidneys by use of CT in dogs of various breeds without evidence of renal disease. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. ANIMALS 21 client-owned dogs.
