Abstract
This case study describes the magnetic resonance characteristics of brain infarction in three dogs. Locations of the brain infarcts were cerebella, thalamus, and multifocal. The infarcts were sharply demarcated from adjacent brain parenchyma, homogeneous, T1-hypointense, T2-hyperintense with/without contrast enhancement, and minimal or no mass effect. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences were available in a dog and the infarcts were hyperintense on DWI and were hypointense on the apparent diffusion coefficient map.
