Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology

This text contains information on diagnostic radiology of canine, feline and equine species. Also included are chapters on ultrasound, CT and MRI. Designed to present diagnostic radiology in a user-friendly approach, it starts with the physics of radiology and then moves into interpretation of the radiographs. Radiographic anatomy helps the reader formulate a diagnosis. Questions at the end of each chapter, with answers at the end of the book, reinforce important concepts and ensure that readers understand one concept before progressing to the next.In-depth coverage of the radiographic anatomy of the dog, cat, and horse enables the reader to recognize the more frequently radiographed regions.A body systems approach presents information in a logical progression and makes topics easy to find.Discussion of the physics of radiology, CT, and MRI gives readers a better understanding of the radiographic process.Information on radiation safety highlights safety measures associated with ionizing radiation.Questions with answers reinforce important points and facilitate a better understanding of diagnostic radiology.High-quality radiographs provide excellent examples of diagnostic criteriaCoverage of ultrasound physics is incorporated into this edition.Interpretation paradigms - modules set up to demonstrate how to properly interpret a radiograph - are included for: the axial skeletonthe appendicular skeleton - canine & felinethe appendicular skeleton - equinethe tarsusthe thorax - canine and felinethe abdomen - canine and feline
