Doppler waveform analysis of the celiac artery (CA) and the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA) of 8 dogs with proven food hypersensitivity was performed in the fasting state and at 20, 40, 60, and 90 minutes after feeding their regular daily diet, and at 2 and 4 days after feeding 4 different allergens. Resistive index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and the percentage differences between these measurements were calculated and compared statistically. The maximal decrease in RI and PI after feeding the regular diet was reached at 40 minutes after ingestion in both vessels (CA: RI = -6%, PI = -23%; CMA: RI = -9%, PI = -30%). After this trough, the resistance in both vessels rose nearly to baseline after 90 minutes (CA: RI = -1%, PI = -13%; CMA: RI = -3%, PI = -14%). When fed an allergen-containing meal the percentage changes at the trough were significantly greater (CA: RI = -10%, PI = -32%; CMA: RI = - 14%, PI = -40 %; p < 0.05) compared to those seen after feeding the maintenance diet. Also, RI and PI values were significantly (P < .05) lower at 90 minutes on days 2 and 4 of the challenge period. During the challenge period, dogs did not show overt signs of gastrointestinal disease.

Extent, shape, number, and location of mineralization were recorded. Five of the dogs had additional alternate imaging examinations, including bone scintigraphy, echocardiography, and thoracic computed tomography. A necropsy was done on one dog, and the area of mineralization was evaluated using routine histology. The median age was 10 (mean 9.7; SD ± 2.7) years. There were five males, seven neutered males, one female, and seven neutered females. The breeds were: Irish setter (6); rottweiler (7); chow‐chow (1); miniature dachshund (1); borzoi (1); English setter (1); English springer spaniel (1); great Dane (1); and greyhound (1). Dogs with both right and left lateral radiographs (n = 17) had mineralization visible on both views, more conspicuously on the right lateral radiograph (n = 12). Aortic bulb mineralization was identified on the ventrodorsal radiograph of only one dog. On lateral radiographs, the aortic bulb mineralization was localized within the 4th intercostal space and in the craniodorsal quadrant of the cardiac silhouette. In nine of the dogs, there were complex or multiple mineralizations and in 11 dogs, there was a single curvilinear mineral opacity oriented in a caudoventral to craniodorsal direction. In all radiographs, the mineralization was in the expected position of the aortic bulb, and echocardiography (n = 4), spiral computed tomography (n = 2), and necropsy (n = 1) confirmed that the mineralization was within the aortic bulb. Clinical pathologic data of the dogs suggested no reason for metastatic mineralization. Exact etiopathogenesis of the lesions were not determined in this study. Based on the histologic findings in one dog, the mineralization seen in the aortic root is similar to a form of dystrophic mineralization called Monckeberg's calcific arteriosclerosis in humans.

The ratio of the height of the ventricle to the height of the brain (VB ratio) was calculated to determ‐ine the severity of ventriculomegaly. Resis‐tance index (RI) was calculated from Doppler measurements of the blood flow velocity in the basilar artery and neurologic signs were scored on a scale of 0 to 3. Based on clinical and ultrasonographic findings, dogs were divided into four groups (normal controls, asymptomatic hydrocephalus, symptomatic hydrocephalus, and other intracranial disease). RI and VB ratio were compared between the groups of dogs and compared with neurologic signs in hydrocephalic dogs. RI ranged from 0.50 to 0.81 (mean, 0.68). Resistance index was significantly higher in dogs with symptomatic hydrocephalus and other intracranial disease when compared with the other two groups. The degree of ventriculomegaly was significantly higher in dogs with symptomatic hydrocephalus than the other groups, but there was substantial overlap between asymptomatic and symptomatic hydrocephalus groups. Combining measurements of VB ratio and RI allowed detection of symptomatic hydrocephalus with a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 94%. The severity of neurological signs was significantly correlated with RI and with VB ratio in hydrocephalic dogs, and in dogs evaluated on more than one occasion, changes in neurologic status were accompanied by changes in RI but not in VB ratio. All asymptomatic hydrocephalic dogs with a VB ratio of greater than 60% eventually developed neurologic signs. Our results suggest that ultrasonographic measurement of VB ratio and basilar artery RI may allow identification of dogs with symptomatic hydrocephalus or dogs that are at risk of developing symptomatic hydrocephalus.

Fifty‐two healthy volunteers were studied. Two‐dimensional volume measurements were based on length, width, and thickness, and the splenic index was calculated using the standard prolated ellipsoid formula (length x width x thickness x 0.523). Three‐dimensional volume planar measurements were obtained with a slice by slice technique by manually drawing a region of interest around the spleen from one end of the sweep to the opposite end. These measurements were recorded three times by two observers. In addition, in vitro determination of splenic volume was performed using three cadaveric human spleens in a water bath. No statistically significant interobserver or intraobserver variability was present for either two‐dimensional or three dimensional ultrasonography. Three‐dimensional sonographic estimations of planar splenic volumes and ellipsoid splenic volumes were consistently smaller than two‐dimensional sonographic estimations of splenic volumes. Three‐dimensional sonographic splenic volumes calculated in vitro using the planar method were accurate to within 2% of in vitro water displacement volumes. Three‐dimensional ultrasonography is potentially superior to two‐dimensional sonography for evaluation of irregularly shaped objects, such as the spleen, and can provide improved accuracy over that of traditional two‐dimensional techniques.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE}, author={De Odorico, I and Spaulding, KA and Pretorius, DH and Lev-Toaff, AS and Bailey, TB and Nelson, TR}, year={1999}, month={Mar}, pages={231–236} } @inbook{spaulding_loomis_1999, title={Principles and applications of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in zoo and wildlife medicine}, booktitle={Zoo & wild animal medicine: Current therapy (4th ed.)}, publisher={Philadelphia, Pa.: W.B.

Sonographic volume data sets were obtained from both sagittal and transverse planes. The visualization of specific branches of the celiac artery (hepatic, splenic, left gastric, gastroduodenal, left hepatic, right hepatic, right gastric) was evaluated, and each vessel was placed in one of four categories on the basis of the appearance of the specific vessel and image clarity (not seen, poorly seen, adequately seen, well seen). Each vessel was evaluated on an initial two‐dimensional scan and on a second scan using the entire volume to optimize and follow the designated vessel using rotating, referencing, and scrolling display capabilities. The ability to manipulate an entire volume improved visualization of the selected vessels as noted by an improved score. The proportion of vessels in the "not seen" and "poorly seen" categories decreased from the initial scan (62.5%) to the scan utilizing the entire volume (36%). Alternatively, the percentage of vessels in the "adequately seen" to "well seen" categories improved from 37.50% on the initial examination to 64% on the scans using the entire volume to depict vascular anatomy. The optimal plane to image each vessel depended on the course of a specific vessel. For optimal imaging of all the selected vessels, both sagittal and transverse volume acquisitions and both sagittal and transverse planes were needed. Three‐dimensional imaging provided a new imaging plane (coronal) that was useful in following and identifying vessels, especially those vessels coursing in a right to left direction. Vascular variants were identified by this technique in two of 16 subjects. Vascular imaging was improved with three‐dimensional ultrasonography, and this imaging method may provide additional assistance in decision making when evaluating abdominal vessels.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE}, author={Spaulding, KA and Kissner, ME and Kim, EK and Pretorius, DH and Rose, SC and Garroosi, K and Nelson, TR}, year={1998}, month={Apr}, pages={239–248} } @misc{spaulding_1997, title={Review of sonographic identification of abdominal blood vessels and juxtavascular organs}, volume={38}, ISSN={["1058-8183"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1997.tb01597.x}, abstractNote={Abdominal vasculature can be evaluated non‐invasively using 2‐D ultrasound imaging and Doppler ultrasonography.5,6,12 The identification of abdominal vessels using ultrasound is based on knowledge of their normal location, appearance and relationship to specific organs.

Using history, laboratory values, sonographic appearance of the effusion, an estimate of the type of effusion and probable cause can be determined.}, number={6}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND}, author={SPAULDING, KA}, year={1993}, pages={427–431} } @article{bristol_hudson_spaulding_1991, title={USE OF BARIUM GELATIN MIXTURE TO STUDY EQUINE VASCULATURE WITH POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN FREE-FLAP TRANSFER}, volume={32}, ISSN={["0196-3627"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1991.tb00107.x}, abstractNote={The purposes of this study were: 1) to evaluate a barium (30%) and gelatin (4%) solution as an intravascular radiographic contrast medium when perfused into intact equine cadavers, 2) to determine the most appropriate skin site to harvest a flap with direct cutaneous vasculature, and 3) to identify potential recipent vessels for free‐flap transfer.Heparinized, aspirin‐treated horses were euthanatized, exsanguinated, and perfused with the contrast media. After 24 hours refrigeration, the cadvers were dissected and radiographed. The contrast medium remained solid for the duration of studies (approximately 4 hours), and provided excellent visualization of the arterial vasculature and smaller venous vessls, but did not adequately fill large veins. Due to its location and consistent vascular supply, the skin perfused by branches of the cudal superficial epigastric artery and vein is an appropriate skin‐flap donor site. Multiple potential recipent vessels were identified.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY}, author={BRISTOL, DG and HUDSON, LC and SPAULDING, KA}, year={1991}, pages={196–205} } @article{spaulding_cohn_miller_hardie_1990, title={ENTERIC DUPLICATION IN 2 DOGS}, volume={31}, ISSN={["0196-3627"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1990.tb00788.x}, abstractNote={Enteric duplication, a developmental malformation of the alimentary tract resulting in juxtaintestinal cyst‐like formations, was diagnosed in 2 dogs. The sonographic, gross, and histopathologic characteristics of the malformation reported in people include: a fusion between the wall of the duplication cyst and the adjoining segment of the alimentary tract, a hypoechoic tunica muscularis layer in the outer free wall of the cyst, a shared muscular wall between the cyst and the adjoining normal bowel, and a similar or heterotopic epithelial lining of the lumen of the cyst. Both dogs in this series had characteristic sonographic, gross and histopathologic patterns described for enteric duplication in people. Three adjoining cysts that communicated and shared a common wall with the ileum were present in the first dog. Ectopic gastric mucosa was present in the single cyst that shared a common wall with the jejunum in the second dog. Other abdominal cystic masses may mimic the gross appearance of the duplication cyst and can potentially result in a misdiagnosis of the underlying etiology. Sonographic findings are characteristic for duplication cysts and are the preferred primary diagnostic modality, however, histopathology is warranted to confirm the diagnosis.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY}, author={SPAULDING, KA and COHN, LA and MILLER, RT and HARDIE, EM}, year={1990}, pages={83–88} } @article{spaulding_sharp_1990, title={ULTRASONOGRAPHIC IMAGING OF THE LATERAL CEREBRAL-VENTRICLES IN THE DOG}, volume={31}, ISSN={["0196-3627"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1990.tb00783.x}, abstractNote={Ultrasonography was effectively used to evaluate lateral cerebral ventricles in 28 dogs with persistent fontanelles.
