@entity706 is one of the most common @entity5 in the @entity235 . Despite its prevalence and the increasing use of advanced diagnostic imaging in veterinary @entity1 only few reports of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in @entity706 have been published to date. The purpose of this retrospective case series study was to describe the MRI findings in @entity235 with confirmed @entity706 affecting the spine and/or paraspinal soft tissues. Medical records were searched for @entity1 that had MRI of the spine and a diagnosis of @entity706 during the period of 2005-2015. Data recorded from retrieved MRI studies were presence of focal or @entity66 , structures involved, and signal characteristics on T2-W, short tau inversion recovery (STIR), and T1-W sequences prior to and following intravenous contrast medium administration. Six @entity235 met the inclusion criteria. Common findings included @entity66 (4/6), vertebral involvement (5/6), @entity1745 (4/6), and involvement of more than one spinal compartment (medullary cavity, vertebral canal, paraspinal soft tissues) (6/6). Vertebral changes were confined to the medullary cavity without evidence of cortical @entity3061 . There was questionable involvement of the spinal cord in one case. All spinal and paraspinal lesions identified were T2-W isointense to hyperintense, STIR hyperintense, T1-W hypointense to isointense, and showed variable moderate to strong contrast enhancement. @entity75 identified were enlarged intraabdominal lymph nodes, @entity382 , @entity381 , and a splenic nodule. The STIR and T1-W postcontrast sequences were subjectively the most useful in identification of the spinal and paraspinal lesions.
