Taylor & Francis Ltd Comparative Anatomy of the Mouse and the Rat
Book SynopsisKey features:Beautifully illustrated with detailed, full-colour images - very user-friendly for investigators, students, and technicians who work with animalsProvides essential information for research and clinical purposes, describing some structures not usually shown in any other anatomy atlasIn each set of illustrations, the same view is depicted in the mouse and the rat for easy comparisonText draws attention to the anatomical features which are important for supporting the care and use of these animals in researchEndorsed by the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) Comparative Anatomy of the Mouse and Rat: a Color Atlas and Text provides detailed comparative anatomical information for those who work with mice and rats in animal research. Information is provided about the anatomical features and landmarks for conducting a physical examination, collecting biologicaTrade ReviewAs the title suggests, this is an in-depth anatomy textbook. It is ring bound, so it lies flat and fits nicely on a mayo stand in surgery, or on a counter during a postmortem evalu- ation. This book is visually appealing as it has many detailed, well- done, full color drawings of mouse and rat anatomy throughout. Topics are covered that I didn't expect, such as the detailed section on Juvenile Features, which includes drawings of mouse and rat pups at < 24 hours, 5 days, 11 days, 21 days, and adult, explaining how you would sex each species at each age. This book is endorsed by the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), and the value of this book for laboratory animal veterinarians is clear. I do, however, feel that this book could also be a valuable resource for clinical practitioners. As an exotic animal veterinarian, for example, I was very interested to see the detailed drawings of the mammary glands. Mammary gland tumors are a common issue in mice and rats, so it is good to be able to appreciate how far that tissue extends from the ventral area and the actual papillae. Many of the other sections would be useful in establishing the locations of structures for radiographs, surgery, sample collection, catheter placement, etc.Overall, I found this book to be very interesting, visually appealing, and a detailed exploration of the anatomy of the mouse and rat, with the differences between the species clearly highlighted in the text. This textbook would be a useful reference for laboratory animal veterinarians and exotic animal practitioners.Reviewed by Teresa Bousquet, DVM, Park Veterinary Centre, Alberta for The Canadian Veterinary Journal, March 2019.Table of ContentsBody Regions.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the
Book SynopsisAtlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head presents a clear and complete view of the complex anatomy of the equine head using cross-sectional imaging.Trade Review"Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head is a comprehensive reference of the cross-sectional anatomy of the head of equids that features photographs of gross sections, CT images, and MRI scans of the head in transverse, sagittal, and dorsal planes. The photographs of gross-section preparations are excellent, and most anatomic features are readily identifiable. Furthermore, the anatomic labels are exhaustive"...... "The provided images should enable readers to recognize most anatomic structures on other MRI pulse sequences"......"In addition to the anatomic atlas, the book contains a well-written introduction that briefly explains the basic principles of CT and MRI interpretation and considerations for image acquisition. Readers unfamiliar with CT and MRI will gain a superficial understanding of what influences tissue appearance in images acquired by the use of those modalities, and appropriate references are provided for readers who wish to learn more. This book will be useful for radiologists, surgeons, internists, and other practitioners who occasionally need to acquire diagnostic images of the heads of horses" (Reviewed by Derek Cissell, VMD, PhD, DACVR, University of California-Davis, Davis, Calif 15th June 2017 AVMA)Table of ContentsIntroduction: General Presentation of Atlas, vi 1 Overview of CT and MRI of the Equine Head, 1 2 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Transverse Sections, 9 3 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Sagittal Sections, 85 Brain sagittal close-up, 100 4 Clinical and Surgical Anatomy of the Equine Head: Dorsal Sections, 115 Glossary, 143 References, 145 Index, 147
