Project description

This is the first study that will investigate the application of dual-energy computed tomography in the diagnosis of medial coronoid disease (MCD) and partial cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs. This study can provide novel insights into the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and prevention of MCD and partial cranial cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs.
