CT imaging: Provides greater detail regarding the bony anatomy, including the extent of clefting and the composition of the intervening tissue. MRI: Useful for evaluating associated spinal cord abnormalities or adjacent soft tissue changes. The sagittal cleft may appear as a hyperintense signal on T2-weighted images, representing cartilaginous ...
Dogs have ear mobility that allows them to rapidly pinpoint the exact location of a sound. Eighteen or more muscles can tilt, rotate, raise, or lower a dog's ear. A dog can identify a sound's location much faster than a human can, as well as hear sounds at four times the distance. [41] Dogs can lose their hearing from age or an ear infection. [42]
Sacralization of the L5 vertebra is seen at the lower right of the image. Sacralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra (or sacralization) is a congenital anomaly, in which the transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) fuses to the sacrum on one side or both, or to ilium, or both.
Albinism is a rare genetic condition that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes. Because the gene itself is so rare, albino dogs are also incredibly rare.

Miller died in 1960, and the first edition of The Anatomy of the Dog was published posthumously in 1964, [1] with George C. Christensen and Howard E. Evans as co-authors. [2] Evans and Christensen also co-authored the second edition, published in 1979, retitled as Miller's Anatomy of the Dog . [ 3 ]
This variation is usually present at the lower one-third of the sternal body.It has an oval shape and a unique "bow tie" appearance when seen on axial computed tomography.
Incomplete fusion of the palatine raphe results in a congenital defect known as cleft palate. The pharyngeal raphe joins the left and right pharyngeal constrictors. The perineal raphe extends from the anus, through the mid-line of the scrotum (scrotal raphe), and upwards through the ventral mid-line aspect of the penis (penile raphe) in males.
