  ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate whether a small volume of 7.2% hypertonic saline solution with 6% dextran 70 (HSD) is superior to mannitol in vasodilatation of encephalic vessels in the dogs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fifteen healthy 2.4 ± 0.9 year-old purpose-bred male Beagle dogs were assigned to receive 5 mL/kg of isotonic saline solution (ISS) as control, 20% mannitol or HSD infusion at a flow rate of 20 mL/kg/hours via right cephalic vein.Venous blood samples were collected immediately before fluid infusion (pre) and every 15 minutes until 120 minutes after the initiation of fluid infusion. Immediately after collection of each blood sample, T1 and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging recordings were undergone. Immediately after HSD infusion, the area of the cross-section of superior sagittal sinus was significantly greater than that of beagles in the other groups (p p
