Veterinary stifle examination - USA

In this video, you will learn how to position a veterinary patient for stifle examinations. For stifle positioning, dorsal recumbency supine or lateral recumbency positions are possible. For stifle examination, position the veterinary patient on the table feet first. In dorsal recumbency supine. Use sandbags, spacers, and wedges to stabilize the sides and the position of the patient. The advantage of positioning in dorsal recumbency supine is that it is possible to perform the examination on both stifles at the same time. Pull both pelvic limbs and secure the paws and legs of the animal. To maintain the stifles in the desired angle, position the flex, ultra flex or contour coil horizontally covering both stifles. Connect the coil plug and secure the coil into place by using appropriate straps. For small animals, the coil can also be wrapped around the joints. Once the patient is correctly positioned and the coil is connected, ensure that the coil link has no loops and does not hang loose. Then set the coil center to go to ISA center and move the table into the bore. For single stifle examinations for big animals, the veterinary patient can also be placed feet first in lateral recumbency. Use sandbags and straps to secure the patient's position on its side. You can use spacers and wedges to position the stifle to be examined more stably. Ensure the stifle joint is positioned with the required angulation. Place the desired coil over the stifle, wrap it and secure it in place with straps. Connect the coil plug and prepare to move the table to isicentre.

Users should be aware that the size and weight of the animal can impact many aspects (for e.g ., SAR) for MR imaging. The use of MRI contrast agents has been implicated in the etiology of chronic renal disease in some human patients, and guidelines for their use have been issued by several resources. To date, this issue has not been well documented in veterinary medicine. The use of such contrast medial is still considered safe in animals, although they should be used with caution in patients with preexisting renal disease.
