Use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography to detect kidney infarction in dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kidney infarction is a renovascular disease diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in humans.

Objectives

To describe the frequency of kidney infarction and to determine the detection of kidney infarction with CECT in dogs.

Animals

Eight hundred and twenty-six abdominal CECT studies of 826 dogs.

Methods

A cross-sectional retrospective study. Dogs with abdominal CT scans including CECT were retrospectively retrieved. Kidney infarction was classified into 3 grades based on the extent of infarction relative to total kidney area. The location and number of kidney infarctions in each kidney were expressed as number and percentage. The ability of visualization of kidney infarction in each multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) image plane was e
