This retrospective multicentric study aimed to describe the CT characteristics of parenchymal bacterial liver infection and abscessation in dogs and compare them with the human literature. Twenty dogs met the inclusion criteria. All dogs, except one, showed discrete hepatic lesions consistent with pyogenic liver abscess (19\/20). A single case showed diffuse liver changes, which was diagnosed with granulomatous bacterial hepatitis (1\/20). Multifocal lesions were associated with the presence of abdominal pain (p = 0.023). CT characteristics of pyogenic liver abscesses in our study resemble those described in the human literature, with multifocal (14\/19) or single (5\/19), round or ovoid (19\/19), hypoattenuating hepatic lesions, which are better visualised in post-contrast images. Pyogenic liver abscesses can also show features such as the \u201ccluster sign\u201d (8\/19), transient arterial segmental enhancement (6\/10), rim enhancement (6\/19), and intralesional gas (4\/19). Additional CT findings, such as local lymphadenomegaly (18\/20), peritoneal fat stranding (14\/20), and peritoneal fluid (13\/20), are also commonly observed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14233399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]],"date-time":"2024-11-25T09:59:34Z","timestamp":1732528774000},"page":"3399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Computed Tomographic Findings in Dogs with Hepatic Bacterial Parenchymal Infection and Abscessation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1433-5456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Mat\u00e9 de Haro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists, Independent Vetcare (IVC) Evidensia, Forest Corner Farm, Hangersley, Ringwood BH24 3JW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Vila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences and Services, The Royal Veterinary College, University of London, Hertfordshire AL9 7TA, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Di Bella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists, Independent Vetcare (IVC) Evidensia, Forest Corner Farm, Hangersley, Ringwood BH24 3JW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Mallol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists, The Granary, Bunstead Barns, Poles Ln, Winchester SO21 2LL, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Anselmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Blaise Veterinary Referral Hospital, Independent Vetcare (IVC) Evidensia, 1601 Bristol Road South, Longbridge, Birmingham B45 9UA, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8791-6526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose-Daniel","family":"Barreiro-Vazquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Anatom\u00eda, Produci\u00f3n Animal e Ciencias Cl\u00ednicas Veterinarias, Facultade de Veterinaria, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Hospital Veterinario Universitario Rof Codina, Estrada da Granxa, 51, 27002 Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2986-1851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Danica","family":"Pollard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, The Rodhams, Rodham Road, Wisbech PE14 9NU, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Salg\u00fcero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario Veterios, C. de Arrastaria, 23, San Blas-Canillejas, 28022 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ella","family":"Fitzgerald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences and Services, The Royal Veterinary College, University of London, Hertfordshire AL9 7TA, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4127-7159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beatriz","family":"Moreno-Aguado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists, Independent Vetcare (IVC) Evidensia, Forest Corner Farm, Hangersley, Ringwood BH24 3JW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-6492","article-title":"Canine Hepatitis Associated with Intrahepatic Bacteria in Three Dogs","volume":"54","author":"Im","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
