Exploring brain perfusion in dogs with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin: A promising role for arterial spin labeling imaging
Brain ASL perfusion in dogs with MUO demonstrated the value of ASL in the diagnosis and follow-up of the condition, suggesting the value of adding ASL to the clinical evaluation in dogs with suspected MUO. Preferential lesion localization in ON and brainstem resembled findings in the central nervous system of human patients with inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Future studies with histopathological confirmation are needed to better characterize the benefits of ASL in the different subtypes of non-infectious encephalomyelitis in dogs.
