  • Title: Negative hepatic computed tomographic attenuation pattern in a dog with vacuolar hepatopathy and hepatic fat accumulation secondary to cushing's syndrome.
    Author: Carloni A, Paninarova M, Cavina D, Romanucci M, Salda LD, Teodori S, Vignoli M.
    Journal: Vet Radiol Ultrasound; 2019 Sep; 60(5):E54-E57. PubMed ID: 28994151.
    Abstract:
    This report describes an unusual computed tomographic (CT) hepatic pattern, characterized by negative attenuation values (from -19.59 to -28.85 Hounsfield Units, HU) in a canine patient with severe Cushing's syndrome. Attenuation values of the splenic parenchyma (63.26 HU) and abdominal fat (-118.34 HU) were within normal limits. The negative hepatic attenuation values allowed a CT diagnosis of severe hepatic fatty infiltration that was subsequently confirmed by tissue-core biopsy and histopathological examination.
