The utility of computed tomography (CT) in the detection and characterization of parathyroid diseases in dogs has not been assessed to date. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the use of multidetector-row CT (MDCT) for the diagnosis of parathyroid disease in dogs. For this descriptive, single-center study, the database of the San Marco Veterinary Clinic was searched for dogs having a suspicion of parathyroid disease who underwent contrast-enhanced MDCT in the period from 2005 to 2021. Dogs with histopathology of the affected parathyroid gland were subsequently considered for inclusion. A total of 22 parathyroid glands were included: 12 adenomas, 8 adenocarcinomas, and two glands with hyperplasia. Several CT features were evaluated, including parathyroid gland affected, lateralization, shape, size, attenuation, and contrast-enhancement. Although the overlap between the appearance of different diseases exists, contrast-enhanced CT was a useful method for the diagnosis of parathyroid disease in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci9060273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,7]],"date-time":"2022-06-07T00:10:33Z","timestamp":1654560633000},"page":"273","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Multidetector-Row CT Findings in Dogs with Different Primary Parathyroid Gland Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Alessia","family":"Cordella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Division, San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Bertaccini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Division, San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Rondena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Division, San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3592-0360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Zoia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine Division, San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1298-9640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanna","family":"Bertolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Division, San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ctsap.2007.03.006","article-title":"Primary hyperparathyroidism in dogs and cats","volume":"22","author":"Bonczynski","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin.
