Description
Book SynopsisATLAS OF Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging Comprehensive and up-to-date resource on the interpretation of diagnostic images in small animals using survey radiographs and other modalities Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging provides a comprehensive, multimodality atlas of small animal diagnostic imaging, with high-quality images depicting radiography, scintigraphy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Taking a traditional body systems approach, the book offers an image-intensive resource to survey radiographs with some other imaging modalities being used to emphasize interpretation of survey radiographs. The Atlas offers clinically relevant information for small animal practitioners and students. Each body structure is thoroughly covered and well-illustrated, with discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each modality in various scenarios. Edited by three experienced radiographers, The Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging contains informati
