99 dogs were enrolled onto the study. Two dogs maintained the same body temperature throughout the procedure, two increased in body temperature( 0.1 ° C and 0.3 ° C), the other 95 decreased in body temperature between 0.2 ° C – 3.4 ° C( mean = 1.35, SD = 0.794). Table 2 shows the body temperature of dogs following induction, and then once their scan had finished.

The distribution of the data collected was tested via a Shapiro-Wilk test of normality( Figure 2) and a visual histogram( Figure 3). The data was found to be normally distributed.
