title: Black and bright-blood sequences magnetic resonance angiography and gross sections of the canine thorax: an anatomical study.
abstract: In this study, images of the canine thorax in transverse, dorsal and sagittal planes were obtained by black-blood T1 spin-echo pulse sequence and bright-blood gradient-echo sequence magnetic resonance imaging. The images were correlated with macroscopic cryosections and anatomical dissection of cadavers with blood vessels containing latex. Non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography was obtained from two mature Beagle breed dogs. Macroscopic sections and dissections were performed in three dogs. Black and bright-blood angiography diagnostic methods are complementary and provide an accurate depiction of the vascular canine thorax.
