On the definition and importance of interpretability in scientific machine learning Open
Though neural networks trained on large datasets have been successfully used to describe and predict many physical phenomena, there is a sense among scientists that, unlike traditional scientific models comprising simple mathematical expre…

Image processing setting adaptions according to image dose and radiologist preference can improve image quality in computed radiography of the equine distal limb: A cadaveric study Open
Image processing (IP) in digital radiography has been steadily refined to improve image quality. Adaptable settings enable users to adjust systems to their specific requirements. This prospective, analytical study aimed to investigate the …

Association between clinical history in the radiographic request and diagnostic accuracy of thorax radiographs in dogs: A retrospective case‐control study Open
Background The effect of clinical history on the interpretation of radiographs has been widely researched in human medicine. There is, however, no data on this topic in veterinary medicine. Hypothesis/Objectives Diagnostic accuracy would i…

An Overview of Factors Affecting Exposure Level in Digital Detector Systems and their Relevance in Constructing Exposure Tables in Equine Digital Radiography Open
The aim of this review is to describe the steps of constructing exposure tables for use of digital detector systems (DRx) in equine practice. Introductory, selected underlying technical aspects of digital radiography are illustrated. Unlik…

A threshold volume of 10 ml is suggested for detecting articular cartilage defects in equine carpal joints using CT arthrography: Ex vivo pilot study Open
Computed tomographic arthrography (CTA) has been described as a method for detecting articular cartilage defects in equine carpal joints; however, published studies on the effects of contrast volume for lesion detection are currently lacki…

Hippocampal size did not differ between epileptic and non-epileptic dogs using volumetric and subjective methods Open
Hippocampal changes in epilepsy may manifest as hippocampal atrophy/sclerosis. A recent human study suggests that the demonstration of hippocampal volume loss is more reliable using quantitative evaluation methods. The aim of the present s…

Persistent right aortic arch and absent left subclavian artery in a seven‐week‐old English Springer Spaniel Open
A seven‐week‐old English Springer Spaniel presented with recurrent vomiting that began with the introduction of solid food. No musculoskeletal issues such as lameness were identified. On radiography, focal dilation of the oesophagus crania…

Ultrasound-Guided Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in the Horse: Assessment of the Extraoral Approach in Cadavers Open
Blinded techniques to desensitize the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) include intraoral, angled, and vertical extraoral approaches with reported success rates of 100%, 73%, and 59%, respectively. It has not been determined whether an ultraso…

Occipital condylar dysplasia in a Jacob lamb (<i>Ovis aries</i>) Open
Jacob sheep (Ovis aries) are a pedigree breed known for their "polycerate" (multihorned) phenotype. We describe a four-horned Jacob lamb that exhibited progressive congenital hindlimb ataxia and paresis, and was euthanased four weeks post-…
