For each cadaver, 1 cervical IVD was randomly selected. The ventral cervical region was ultrasonographically examined, pushing the trachea leftwards. A 50\/50 contrast medium (iohexol, 300 mgI\/mL) and methylene blue mixture was injected under ultrasound guidance in the IVD and ventral soft tissues. The x-rays and CT scans were performed before and after injection. Each cadaver was dissected using a ventral slot procedure. The cadavers and IVD characteristics, the success rate in ultrasonographically identifying the correct IVD space, time to injection, most caudal IVD space feasibly injectable, and semiquantitative imaging and surgical scores were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>20 canine cadavers were used. The IVD injections were successfully performed in the correct IVD space in all cadavers. The median time to injection was 3.95 minutes (Q1 to Q3, 3.22 to 5.88 minutes). The contrast medium was clearly visible on at least 1 radiographic projection in all but 1 case and on the CT in all cases. During surgical dissection, the dye was clearly visible in all but 1 case. The dogs\u2019 weight was significantly different between most caudal IVD spaces feasibly injectable.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sc_a4\">\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Ultrasonographical cervical IVD space identification and mixture injection are feasible and might help intraoperative cervical IVD space identification in dogs.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sc_a5\">\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This technique could be used presurgically in patients with cervical IVD diseases.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.24.08.0237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,4]],"date-time":"2024-11-04T14:36:15Z","timestamp":1730730975000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Feasibility of ultrasound-guided cervical intervertebral disc injection to aid in intraoperative site identification in dog cadavers"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"86","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1329-0830","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"J\u00e9r\u00e9mie","family":"Ficheroulle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Teaching and Clinical Department of Companion Animal, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals and Health, University of Li\u00e8ge, Li\u00e8ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4265-1429","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pierre P.","family":"Picavet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kris","family":"Gommeren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Teaching and Clinical Department of Companion Animal, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals and Health, University of Li\u00e8ge, Li\u00e8ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justine","family":"Monseur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics and Research Method Center, Public Health Department, University of Li\u00e8ge, Li\u00e8ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00e9raldine E.","family":"Bolen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Teaching and Clinical Department of Companion Animal, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals and Health, University of Li\u00e8ge, Li\u00e8ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"B1","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract","first-page":"829","article-title":"Intervertebral disc disease in dogs","volume":"40","author":"Brisson BA","year":"2010","unstructured":"Brisson BA.
