Background Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to study the anatomy of the brain in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. Purpose To quantitate MRI images in terms of volumetric ratios and histogram analyses of the following regions of interest (ROI) in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy: frontal; parietal; temporal; piriform; thalamic; and hippocampal regions. Material and Methods Nine dogs with epilepsy and four healthy controls were evaluated. We examined the volumetric ratios and histogram analyses of six ROIs in all dogs. Results MR images, in T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, diffusion-weighted imaging, and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences detected changes in 4/9 (44%) epileptic dogs found in 5/6 regions: frontal; parietal; temporal; piriform; and hippocampal regions. However, no such changes were observed in the thalamic region. Interestingly, the frontal and piriform volumetric ratios of epileptic dogs were significantly lower than those of control dogs. The histogram analyses in 4/6 regions were significantly increased in epileptic dogs. Conclusion Our results demonstrated MRI finding abnormalities in several regions of the brain in several sequences including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, diffusion-weighted imaging, and apparent diffusion coefficient in epileptic dogs. In several regions of the brain, atrophy may exist, and hyperintensity may be present on MR images in epileptic dogs. These findings suggest that the diagnostic yield of MRI, which is an advanced neuroimaging technique, is high in epileptic dogs and has good reliability and sensitivity in detecting abnormal areas in patients.

We measured diffusion changes in the brains of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Using diffusion-weighted and conventional magnetic resonance (MR) images of 42 children with NF1 (19 girls, 23 boys; 7 months-16 years, mean 6.8 years) and 42 age-matched controls (20 boys, 22 girls; 6 months-17 years, mean, 6.9 years), we calculated the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from the automatically generated ADC maps and placed regions of interest in the pons, middle cerebellar and cerebral peduncles, thalami, globus pallidi and frontal white matter. Evaluating only normal-appearing regions on conventional images, we compared mean ADCs using the unpaired Student t test. Means were not significantly different in frontal white matter but were larger in the other regions in the NF1 (P < 0.01). Although conventional MR showed normal intensity, ADCs of the pons, middle cerebellar and cerebral peduncles, thalami and globus pallidi were significantly larger in the NF1.
