Magnetic resonance imaging of the normal canine larynx

Anat Histol Embryol. 1998 Aug;27(4):263-70. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0264.1998.tb00191.x.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to define the normal anatomic structures in the canine larynx with magnetic resonance images. TI-weighted images were taken in the sagittal and transverse planes. The MR images were obtained comparing MR images to dissection planes. Magnetic resonance imaging provides excellent anatomic detail of laryngeal structures. Therefore, it is of value of diagnostic imaging of some respiratory diseases in the dog.
