This book serves as a practical guide to radiographic interpretation and the imaging modalities used in small animal practice. The presentation incorporates a brief discussion of the technology of each modality, its use and application, and the decision process for using each modality. All imaging modalities presently in use by veterinarians are represented including plain film, MRI, ultrasound, and CT.
- NEW! Companion website features additional radiographic CT scans and more than 100 questions with answers and rationales. - NEW! Additional CT and 3D images have been added to each chapter to help clinicians better evaluate the detail of bony structures. - NEW! Breed-specific images of dogs and cats are included throughout the atlas to help clinicians better understand the variances in different breeds. - NEW! Updated material on oblique view radiography provides a better understanding of an alternative approach to radiography, particularly in fracture cases. - NEW! 8.5" x 11" trim size makes the atlas easy to store.
This second edition extends its initial aim of assisting general veterinary practitioners in radiographic interpretation and pathological diagnosis by adding to the content of the first edition a chapter on the principles of radiology and a complete atlas of radiographic positioning and anatomy. It includes 400 new images and updates previous graphic material content to further increase its quality. In addition, the book is complemented by new multimedia material, which can be accessed through QR codes located throughout the text. In this way, the reader can access different normal radiographic anatomy diagrams, both with and without the anatomical details identified. This book will undoubtedly consolidate its position as a reference for all veterinary clinicians.
Use this atlas to interpret radiographic images and make accurate diagnoses! Hundreds of high-quality images clearly demonstrate normal avian anatomic and radiographic features in a wide variety of species so that you can recognize abnormal features. This book includes detailed directions for patient positioning along with radiographic exposure guidelines, ensuring that you obtain the highest quality diagnostic images. - Complete directions for positioning during radiographic examination help you take high-quality radiographs for accurate interpretation. - Radiographic exposure guidelines are provided for each species and radiographic view, so you can determine optimal settings and technique. - Line drawings are superimposed on radiographic images, so you can identify anatomic structures accurately. - Alternative imaging studies — including CT, MRI, ultrasound, GI, urogram, and other contrast media studies —allow advanced diagnostic interpretation. - A companion CD includes all of the radiographic images in the book for digital monitor viewing.
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. Key features Enables successful and clear interpretation of radiographs and ultrasonograms Offers clearly sequenced text arrangement from the identification of the radiographic or sonographic abnormalities to a list of subsequent considerations for each sign Prioritizes different clinical findings to tailor further diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions Takes imaging abnormalities from the descriptive to the interpretative New to this edition Colour throughout enhances user-friendliness Many new conditions Extra illustrations show techniques and normal anatomy Additional information on techniques, normal appearance and disease processes 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.
This very useful book for the general practitioner offers a practical approach to general film interpretation and a prioritized approach to differential diagnoses. The systemic approach and well-structured text that is organized into key points and important features make this an ideal quick reference guide to thoracic radiology. It covers interpretation of thoracic radiographs for the diagnosis in dogs and cats, how to increase the quality of images, background information about the possible causes of various abnormal finding and corresponding diagnostic tests and treatments. The presentation reminds practitioners of the basics with useful hints on radiographic techniques and positioning of dogs and cats. Normal and abnormal finds of the dog and cat are discussed as well as possible causes, suggestion for additional diagnostic test, and treatment approaches. Excellent quality images and diagrammed overlays well-illustrate the difference between normal and abnormal findings. The easy to follow format, which includes diagrams, charts, and outlines, makes it a fast and convenient reference. Published by Teton New Media in the USA and distributed by Manson Publishing outside of North America.
This reference book covers using digital radiology and medical imaging procedures such as ultrasound, MRI and scintigraphy in veterinary practice. The approach is a step-by-step guide, with tips and techniques to ensure optimal X-rays and advice on how to improve radiation protection. All commonly kept pets are included: small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Translated from the German edition, Diagnostic Radiology in Small Animal Practice 2nd Edition is an extraordinary resource for veterinary students and veterinary school libraries. 5m Books
Interpret diagnostic images accurately with Diagnostic Radiology and Ultrasonography of the Dog and Cat, 5th Edition. Written by veterinary experts J. Kevin Kealy, Hester McAllister, and John P. Graham, this concise guide covers the principles of diagnostic radiology and ultransonography and includes clear, complete instruction in image interpretation. It illustrates the normal anatomy of body systems, and then uses numbered points to describe radiologic signs of abnormalities. It also includes descriptions of the ultrasonographic appearance of many conditions in dogs and cats. Updated with the latest on digital imaging, CT, MR, and nuclear medicine, and showing how to avoid common errors in interpretation, this book is exactly what you need to refine your diagnostic and treatment planning skills! - Hundreds of detailed radiographs and ultrasonograms clearly illustrate principles, aid comprehension, and help you accurately interpret your own films. - The normal anatomy and appearance for each body system is included so you can identify deviations from normal, such as traumatic and pathologic changes. - Coverage of the most common disorders associated with each body system help you interpret common and uncommon problems. - Coverage of radiographic principles and procedures includes density, contrast, detail, and technique, so you can produce the high-quality films necessary for accurate diagnosis. - Clinical signs help you arrive at a clinical diagnosis. - An emphasis on developing a standardized approach to viewing radiographs and ultrasonograms ensures that you do not overlook elements of the image that may affect proper diagnosis. - Complete coverage of diagnostic imaging of small animals includes all modalities and echocardiography, all in a comprehensive, single-source reference. - Discussions of ultrasound-guided biopsy technique help you perform one of the most useful, minimally invasive diagnostic procedures. - Single chapters cover all aspects of specific body compartments and systems for a logical organization and easy cross-referencing. - Coverage of different imaging modalities for individual diseases/disorders is closely integrated in the text and allows easier comprehension. - A consistent style, terminology, and content results from the fact that all chapters are written by the same authors.
