Abstract
In the article discusses the effectiveness of using magnetic resonance imaging in the analysis of pathologies of the spinal cord and cervical spine in dogs. It is noted that MRI of the cervical region of PS and SС is widely used in veterinary medicine. The use of a Siemens tomograph with a power of 1,0 Tesla is widely used in practice and this device is quite technologically advanced in the study of spinal cord pathologies using a number of MR programs (MR modes). The modes are described, thanks to which the size of the pathological focus of SС and VP is estimated during preoperative planning. The use of certain MRI technologies allows for effective preoperative planning, if necessary, as well as the prevalence of pathologies in the cervical region of SC and VP in dogs due to their mobility. This serves as a factor of wider distribution due to the high mobility of the cervical region and the greater amplitude of movement of the vertebrae, compared with the thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbosacral regions of the VP and SC. Thus, these technologies are widely used in veterinary medicine and effectively used in the diagnosis of not only pathologies of VP and SC, as well as the brain, but also other parts of the animal body to detect pathologies, their accurate diagnosis, identify structural changes, the volume of the pathological focus, its spread in the study area and further timely treatment of identified pathologies, using surgical or medical treatment tactics, if necessary.
