All dogs underwent conventional CT (HiSpeed FX/i or LightSpeed16, GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) and/or CBCT (NewTom 5G CBCT Scanner, NewTom, Verona, Italy) imaging at their initial visit. Conventional CT allowed the study to capture those patients in which superior soft tissue imaging was medically necessary (e.g., those with concern for intracranial hemorrhage), those too large for the CBCT field of view, and those who received treatment prior to the availability of CBCT. All DICOM files from each study were viewed using specialized software (InVivo5, Anatomage, San Jose, CA) as previously described (1 (link), 27 (link)). Each case was viewed dynamically on medical flat-grade monitors (ASUS PB278Q 27-inch, ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Taipei, Taiwan), allowing the observers to utilize all viewing modes and tools to best assess all fractures. Two observers (JC, EW) viewed all studies and recorded all data after a period of calibration with two board-certified veterinary dentists and oral surgeons (FJMV, BA).

All dogs received conventional (HiSpeed FX/i or LightSpeed16, GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) and/or cone beam CT (NewTom 5G CBCT Scanner, NewTom, Verona, Italy) scans at their initial visit. Although many dogs presenting for CMF trauma at our institution undergo CBCT, including conventional CT allowed the study to capture those cases in which superior soft tissue imaging was medically necessary (i.e., those with concern for intracranial hemorrhage, those too large for the CBCT field of view, and those who received treatment prior to the advent of CBCT at this facility). All DICOM files from each study were viewed using specialized software (Invivo5, Anatomage, San Jose, CA). Each case was viewed dynamically on medical flat-grade monitors (ASUS PB278Q 27-inch, ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Taipei, Taiwan), allowing the observers to utilize all viewing modes and tools to best assess all fractures. One observer (MD) viewed all studies and recorded all data after a period of calibration with one experienced board-certified radiologist (RP) and 2 board-certified diplomates and AVDC-OMFS Fellows (FJV, BA). When there was uncertainty, the particular study was reviewed with the board-certified radiologist (RP).
