In this live webinar, Drs. Spohn and Nessler explore their recent paper on utilizing CSF and MRI to predict the likelihood of relapse in dogs with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO). Repeated MRI exams are advantageous for monitoring dogs with MUO. A recent study suggested a follow-up MRI three months post-diagnosis, along with CSF analysis, to evaluate treatment success. Nonetheless, image interpretation remains subjective. To tackle this, recent research has inves

In this lecture, Dr Bryan Torres from the University of Georgia will explore how advanced imaging techniques are transforming the diagnosis and management of sports-related injuries in canine athletes and work-related injuries in working dogs. Dr Torres details how imaging techniques can elevate the assessment and treatment of common musculoskeletal injuries in performance and working dogs.

In this lecture, Dr Silke Hecht provides an overview of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and some computed tomography (CT) features of more common (histiocytic tumors, lymphoma, plasma cell tumors/multiple myeloma) and less common (mast cell tumors, melanocytic tumors, and transmissible venereal tumors) round cell tumors of the brain and spine in dogs and cats.

In this lecture, part 2 of a 4-part Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging continuing education course, Dr. Elizabeth Goudie discusses anesthesia protocols for brachycephalic dogs and the challenges we face. Dr Goudie discusses the underlying pathophysiology of brachycephalic breeds and the common comorbidities encountered in this population. Best practices for anesthetic management to prevent airway crisis, vagal episodes, and regurgitation, as well as manage recovery, are discussed.

Great overview of how to logically and thoroughly interpret a veterinary MRI with the aim of improving the confidence in your diagnosis

Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a rare congenital or acquired condition caused by abnormal caudal positioning and/or traction of the spinal cord and meninges, predominantly observed at the level of the conus medullaris. Congenital TCS may result from a tight filum terminale, characterized by reduced elasticity, shortened length, and/or abnormal composition, and may coexist with malformations. In dogs, TCS has been reported in association with spina bifida, myelomeningocele, m

Prophylactic fenestration (PF) has been reported to protect against recurrent intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE), but recurrence is not...
