Imaging

"The Handbook of Small Animal Radiology and Ultrasound: Techniques and Differential Diagnoses" provides a user-friendly reference for a wide range of radiographic and ultrasonographic findings in dogs and cats. This title enables successful and clear interpretation of radiographs and ultrasonograms. It offers clearly sequenced text arrangement from the identification of the radiographic or sonographic abnormalities to a list of subsequent considerations for each sign. It prioritizes different clinical findings to tailor further diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions. It takes imaging abnormalities from the descriptive to the interpretative. This title features: colour throughout that enhances user-friendliness; many new conditions; extra illustrations that show techniques and normal anatomy; additional information on techniques, normal appearance and disease processes; and, Expanded Further Reading sections. This book is intended for all users of small animal diagnostic imaging, from radiologists through to general practitioners to veterinary students, and will be an invaluable supplement to existing references in the subject.

Jean-Marie Denoix is the world's leading equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is therefore nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this must be a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy.This book provides a unique contribution and is an invaluable reference text. The image quality is extraordinarily high and the multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation. Each part opens with a characteristically superb anatomical drawing by the author. Each spread of pages deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled black and white equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required. The book is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size. The atlas is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.
