“… (9) Veterinary practice has changed considerably over the last few decades, and along with it, applications using ionising radiation have increased in type and variety (McEntee, 2004; Farrelly and McEntee, 2014; Pentreath et al., 2020). More specifically, such applications have diversified greatly and now comprise interventional radiology and CT scanning, nuclear medicine applications including unsealed source therapy, and mixed modality imaging, as well as brachy- and teletherapy (Johnson, 2013; LaRue and Custis, 2014; Kent et al., 2018; Scansen and Drees, 2020) with a wide variety of animals beyond cats, dogs, and horses being treated (e.g. Adkesson and Ivančić, 2019; Schilliger et al., 2020).…”

Veterinary use of radiation in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of disease has expanded and diversified, as have the corresponding radiological protection concerns. Radiological exposure of personnel involved in veterinary procedures and, where applicable, members of the public providing assistance (e.g. owners or handlers) has always been included within the system of radiological protection. Veterinary practice is now addressed explicitly as the modern complexities associated with this practice warrant dedicated consideration, and there is a need to clarify and strengthen the application of radiological protection principles in this area. The Commission recommends that the system of radiological protection should be applied in veterinary practice principally for the protection of humans, but with explicit attention to the protection of exposed animals. Additionally, consideration should be given to the risk of potential contamination of the environment associated with applications of nuclear medicine in veterinary practice. This publication focuses primarily on justification and optimisation in veterinary practice, and sets the scene for more detailed guidance to follow in future Recommendations. It is intended for a wide-ranging audience, including radiological protection professionals, veterinary staff, students, education and training providers, and members of the public, as an introduction to radiological protection in veterinary practice. © 2022 ICRP.

“…With the growing interest in cardiac MRI (cMRI) in dogs, veterinary radiologists may increasingly be asked to use this modality to perform cardiac examinations, particularly in more complex cases, and to provide measurements similar to those currently being obtained using echocardiography 1,2 . Previous studies have described both left and right canine ventricular morphology, volume, and function 3‐10 .…”

With the growing interest in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), veterinary radiologists will increasingly be asked to use this modality to answer complex cardiological questions. Plane alignment is crucial for reproducible assessment of the heart. Anesthesia time is a limiting factor in cMRI. Aims of this prospective experimental study were to introduce a flow chart for standardized cMRI-examination in dogs, to test it for reproducibility using a cardiac CT simulation and to estimate time requirements needed to complete the examination accurately. Six operators (3 radiologists, 1 cardiologist, 1 imaging-resident, 1 technician) simulated a cMRI examination on CT-scans of 6 healthy Beagle dogs twice within two to four weeks. Assessment included qualitative and quantitative scoring of plane quality and time requirements. The quality of planes was high for the left and moderate for the right side of the heart. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of linear measurements of structures on the left was good to excellent (ICC-range: 0.789-0.948) but dropped to moderate to poor levels for the right side (ICC-range: 0.429-0.738). The median time required to complete a full examination was 30 (range: 13-103) min in the first and 24 (range: 15-62) min in the second evaluation. It differed significantly between operators and was consistently shorter for the left than for the right side. In conclusion, a new standardized scheme for cMRI can be quickly adopted by radiologists with some expertise in cross sectional imaging. Qualitative and quantitative results were highly reproducible for the left but less for the right side.
