Computed tomography examination was performed using either a Picker PQ2000 CT single slice helical scanner (before November 2009; Picker Medical Systems, Cleveland, Ohio), or a Philips Gemini TF Big Bore 16‐slice scanner (after November 2009; Philips Medical Systems, Nederland, B.V.). When obtaining CT images for radiation planning, all patients were placed in sternal recumbency in a foam trough with the forelimbs positioned caudally. Patients' heads were further immobilized using a previously described system including a carbon fiber stand, a fixed thermoplastic dental mold, and a facial mask (Figure 1 ).22 A Styrofoam bead‐style cushion was used to provide ventral support to the cervical region.22 A non‐contrast volumetric (helical) dataset was obtained through the skull. Omnipaque 350 (GE Healthcare, Princeton, New Jersey) contrast media then was injected IV (2.2 mL/kg) before the postcontrast series. Images were reconstructed at 2.0 mm contiguous intervals with a 512 matrix, using the smooth algorithm.

When a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, this was done using either a Picker PQ2000 CT single slice helical scanner (before November 2009; Picker Medical Systems, Cleveland, OH), a Philips Gemini TF Big Bore 16-slice scanner (after November 2009 and before February 2020; Philips Medical Systems, Nederland, B.V.), or a Siemens Somaton Force 128-slice scanner (after February 2020; Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA). Dogs were positioned in lateral recumbency with the affected limb down. The majority of the body was placed into a moldable bag (Vac-Lock Cushions; CIVCO Medical Solutions, Coralville, IA) with the affected limb stretched away and secured using a thermoplastic net attached to an indexed carbon fiber board (CIVCO Medical Solutions, Coralville, IA). The board and moldable bags were indexed to the CT couch and, if the patient received radiation, the radiation couch as well.
Both non-contrast and contrast volumetric (helical) datasets were obtained through the affected limb and a portion of the body in the region. Omnipaque 350 (GE Healthcare, Princeton, NJ) contrast media was injected IV. Reconstructed images were created at 2.0 mm intervals using a 512 matrix and a smooth algorithm. A bone algorithm was also reconstructed from the pre-contrast series at 1.0 mm intervals.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
