PennHIP (an acronym for "University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program") is a program which evaluates the quality of the hips in dogs. [1] The program was established at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine by Gail Smith [2] in 1993, with the primary objective of reducing the prevalence of hip dysplasia in dogs.

Currently Siemens and GE are the only companies to offer a fully integrated whole body and simultaneous acquisition PET-MRI system. The Siemens system (Biograph mMR) received a CE mark [19] and FDA approval [20] for customer purchase in 2011. The GE system (SIGNA PET/MR) received its 510K & CE mark in 2014. [citation needed]
FreeSurfer interoperates easily with the FMRIB Software Library (FSL), a comprehensive library for image analysis written by the Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB) group at Oxford, UK. The functional activation results obtained using either the FreeSurfer Functional Analysis Stream (FS-FAST) or the FSL tools can be overlaid onto inflated ...

MRI has the advantages of having very high spatial resolution and is very adept at morphological imaging and functional imaging. MRI does have several disadvantages though. First, MRI has a sensitivity of around 10 −3 mol/L to 10 −5 mol/L which, compared to other types of imaging, can be very limiting. This problem stems from the fact that ...
For dogs, xylitol can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and liver failure. 6. Alcohol. It might seem obvious, but even small amounts of alcohol can have serious effects on a dog’s liver and ...
[35]: 140 The dog's visual system has evolved to aid in hunting. [28] Dogs have been shown to be able to discriminate between humans (e.g., identifying their human guardian) at a range of between 800 and 900 metres (2,600 and 3,000 ft); however, this range decreases to 500–600 metres (1,600–2,000 ft) if the object is stationary.

Start by measuring your dog's chest, neck, and length, from his neck to the base of his tail. (Don't include the bottom.) Use a soft tape measure like the ones used for sewing.
