Computed tomography versus magnetic resonance imagingfor the perioperative management of acute thoracolumbarintervertebral disc extrusion in non-ambulatorychondrodystrophic dogs

Objective

To determine whether perioperative management guided by condi-tional computed tomography-myelography (C-CTM) is non-inferior to magneticresonance imaging (MRI) regarding functional outcome for acute thoracolumbarintervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) in non-ambulatory chondrodystrophic dogs.
