    Computed tomography accurately identified adrenal gland dysfunction in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism, enabling precise surgical planning for adrenalectomy. This imaging technique aids in locating the affected adrenal glands for improved treatment outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary medicine
    • Diagnostic imaging
    • Canine endocrinology

    Background:

    • Hyperadrenocorticism is a common endocrine disorder in dogs.
    • Accurate localization of adrenal gland abnormalities is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Surgical adrenalectomy is a treatment option for canine hyperadrenocorticism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of abdominal computed tomography (CT) in identifying adrenal gland dysfunction in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.
    • To assess the accuracy of CT in guiding surgical approaches for adrenalectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Abdominal CT scans were performed on 9 dogs diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism and 2 healthy control dogs.
    • Adrenal glands were identified and evaluated for abnormalities.

  • CT findings were correlated with biochemical diagnoses of hyperadrenocorticism.

    • Main Results:

    • Both adrenal glands were successfully identified in all dogs via CT.
    • Computed tomography accurately pinpointed the sites of adrenal gland dysfunction when combined with biochemical diagnosis.
    • The accuracy of CT facilitated the use of a retroperitoneal surgical approach for all adrenalectomies.

    Conclusions:

    • Abdominal computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing and localizing adrenal gland dysfunction in canine hyperadrenocorticism.
    • CT imaging improves surgical planning and enables minimally invasive retroperitoneal adrenalectomy in affected dogs.
