title: Diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous canine brain tumors with a CT scanner.
abstract: Spontaneous brain tumors in 25 pet dogs were diagnosed and treated with a modified CT scanner. Five or more weekly 9-Gy fractions resulted in marked clinical improvement in most dogs and a significant decrease in tumor size in many dogs without adverse effects from the radiotherapy.
