Retrospective research of mr-image in osteogenic and soft tissue extradural tumors in dogs
Abstract
The article presents the results of a retrospective study of magnetic resonance imaging of animals with histologically confirmed diagnoses of "osteosarcoma", "fibrosarcoma" and "metastatic carcinoma" in order to determine the features of visualization of these neoplasms. Due to good visualization of soft tissues, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows to accurately determine the localization of the pathology of the spinal cord and make a provisional diagnosis, in particular regarding neoplasms of the spinal cord, spinal column and paraspinal tissues. Despite the fact that the exact origin of the tumor can be determined only with the help of pathomorphological examination, on the basis of MRI it is possible to make an assumption whether it is an osteogenic tumor or soft tissue, due to certain criteria, such as the level of the signal from the tissue and the accumulation of contrast, which makes it possible to more accurately plan surgical intervention.
