Abstract：
A 10-year-old male Shar-Pei was referred for lethargy and proprioceptive deficits of the left thoracic limb. An magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the cervical spinal column and the brain was performed. The MRI examination of the brain was normal. A left-sided C3-C4 intervertebral disc extrusion with spinal cord compression was diagnosed. Medical treatment was elected. Within a week after the MRI examination, the dog presented with deep partial-thickness skin burn wounds in both axillae. Since the specific absorption rate had not exceeded the safety limits during any of the scans and no other procedures or circumstances were identified that could possibly have resulted in burn injuries, the thermal burn injuries were diagnosed as radiofrequency (RF) burns. The wounds healed by secondary intent over the next month. RF burns are the most reported complication in humans undergoing MRI but have not been reported in veterinary patients. Clinicians and technicians should consider the potential risk for RF burns in veterinary patients and take precautions regarding positioning of the patient and take notice of any signs of burn injury when performing follow-up examinations.
摘要：
一名10岁的男性Shar-Pei因左胸肢的嗜睡和本体感觉缺陷而被转诊。对颈脊柱和大脑进行了磁共振成像（MRI）检查。脑部MRI检查正常。诊断为左侧C3-C4椎间盘挤压伴脊髓压迫。医疗当选。核磁共振检查后一周内,这只狗在两个腋窝都有深的部分厚度皮肤烧伤伤口。由于在任何扫描过程中，比吸收率均未超过安全限值，并且未发现可能导致烧伤的其他程序或情况。热烧伤被诊断为射频（RF）烧伤。伤口在下个月因次要意图而愈合。RF烧伤是接受MRI的人类中报告最多的并发症，但在兽医患者中尚未报告。临床医生和技术人员应考虑兽医患者射频烧伤的潜在风险，并在进行后续检查时对患者的定位采取预防措施，并注意任何烧伤迹象。
