Computed tomography perfusion was performed in the healthy dogs using varied contrast agent doses and injection durations. Time-density curves and arterial blood flow values were analyzed to determine the optimal imaging protocol in these healthy dogs. The clinical cases underwent preoperative urine sampling for cytopathologic assessment and BRAF mutation analysis, followed by CTP using the optimized protocol. Prostatectomy and the subsequent histopathological examination were performed in all clinical cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The protocol of 600 mgI\/kg administered over 10 seconds yielded optimal vascular and parenchymal enhancement. Cytopathologic analysis confirmed adenocarcinoma in 5 of 6 dogs, whereas all dogs tested positive for BRAF mutation. Histopathology confirmed prostate cancer in all cases.
