Developed the technique of helical angitomography as a tool to get references from normal blood supply of the brain in healthy dogs. The present study was performed in 17 animals, 8 young adults breed pointer and 9 adult mixed breed; males and females with clinical, neurological and laboratory normal exams. There were simple images and nonionic iodinated contrast media (ICM) IV, injected into the left cephalic vein; were made multiplanar reconstructions (MPR). It was possible to demonstrate the major arteries that make up the arterial polygon of Willis, in addition some anatomical variations as the presence of an artery intercarotid right and left in 3 of 17 animals, and absence of the right branch of the rostral cerebral artery in other 3 animals, demonstrating that the helical angitomography is a safe and fast examination that can be applied in dogs routine tomographic for correct visualization of the cerebral blood supply. We also evaluated the effect of nonionic MCI at a dose of 900 mg Iodine/kg, in the kidney through ultrasound (U.S.) and correlated with the values of urea and creatinine before and after administration. No changes were seen in any of the renal parenchyma. Creatinine values after MCI remained within the normal range, however the values of urea showed on increase significant statistically, therefore ultrasound studies should be conducted to correlated with laboratory testing on a larger number of dogs to determine safety and accuracy of MCI
