Normal thoracic and abdominal distribution of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (18FDG) in adult cats.

29 Jun 2009 Positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-deoxy-2-[18sF]fluoro-D-glucose (18FDG) is an important imaging modality for diagnosis and staging of human neoplastic disease. The purpose of this study is to describe the normal is 18FDG uptake in adult ... Read more...

Anatomic study of cranial nerve emergence and associated skull foramina in cats using CT and MRI.

29 Jun 2009 Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain of four normal cats were reviewed retrospectively to assess the emergence and course of the cranial nerves (CNs). Two-millimeter-thick images were obtained in transverse, sagittal, and dorsal planes using ... Read more...

Feline shoulder arthroscopy using a caudolateral portal, a cadaveric study.

21 Jun 2009 The aim of this cadaveric study was to determine the normal arthroscopic anatomy of the feline shoulder from a caudolateral arthroscope portal, to compare this with the gross anatomy evident upon dissection, and to determine the degree of iatrogenic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cats'

Definition: The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago. (From Walker's Mammals of the World, 6th ed, p801)
