I was also reading that there is a Dr. Wilfried Mai out of the Univerity of Pennsyulvania-School of Veterinary Medicine, seeking to modificy the technique of using contrast-enhanced magnetic esonance angiograph in humans for use in dogs.
Traditional methods for diagnosing porto-systemic shunts and hepatic microvascular disease have included radiographs, ultrasound and scintigraphy.
