Atlas Of Normal Radiographic Anatomy And Anatomic Variants In The Dog And Cat E Book

Equip yourself to make accurate diagnoses and achieve successful treatment outcomes with this highly visual comprehensive atlas. Featuring a substantial number of new high contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition provides an in-depth look at both normal and non-standard subjects along with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson describe a wider range of "normal" as compared to competing books — not only showing standard dogs and cats, but also non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations. Every body part is put into context with a textual description to help explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling practitioners to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles. Radiographic images of normal or standard prototypical animals are supplemented by images of non-standard subjects exhibiting breed-specific differences, physiologic variants, or common congenital malformations. Images that depict a wider range of "normal" — such as images that detail the natural growth and aging characteristics of normal pediatric and senior animals — prevents clinical under- and over-diagnosing. In-depth coverage of patient positioning and radiographic exposure guidelines assist clinicians in producing the very best results. Unlabeled radiographs along side labeled counterparts clarifies important anatomic structures of clinical interest. High-quality digital images provide excellent contrast resolution and better visibility of normal structures to assist clinicians in making accurate diagnoses. Brief descriptive text and explanatory legends accompany all images to help put concepts into the proper context. An overview of radiographic technique includes the effects of patient positioning, respiration, and exposure factors. 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.

NEW! Expanded coverage of the neonatal and juvenile subject includes additional radiographic examples. NEW! Additional material on the normal appearance of some of the more common special procedures performed in private practice includes barium esophagram, barium gastrointestinal study, and positive contrast cystogram. NEW! Coverage of shoulder arthrography illustrates the normal expected location of the joint capsule. NEW and UPDATED! Radiographic images of normal or standard prototypical animals are supplemented by images of non-standard subjects exhibiting breed-specific differences, physiologic variants, or common congenital malformations. NEW! Enhanced ebook, included with the purchase of a new print copy of the book, provides online access to a fully searchable version of the text and makes its content available on various devices.

Die Autorinnen beginnen mit einer umfangreichen Darstellung radiografischer Bilder sowohl des Knochenbaus wie auch der Weichteile, um anschließend eine Reihe von Aufnahmen zu erläutern, die unter Verwendung von Kontrastmitteln entstanden. Sowohl Studierende als auch Praktiker dürften die Unterschiede in der Anatomie von verschiedenen Altersgruppen und Rassen beeindrucken. Die Autoren vermitteln überzeugend, welche anatomischen Eigenschaften als normal gelten dürfen und welcher Befund veterinärmedizinisches Eingreifen erfordert. Immer an der tierärztlichen Praxis orientiert, werden häufige Fallstricke benannt und Hinweise zu Diagnose und Interpretation der Röntgenbilder gegeben. 50 Abbildungen sind in der Neuauflage hinzugekommen, die Qualität vieler Abbildungen wurde verbessert. Beide Autorinnen sind seit den 80er-Jahren intensiv mit der kleintierärztlichen Radiologie befasst. Studenten und Tierärzte lernen hier von zwei erfahrenen Spezialistinnen, die die tierärztliche Praxis genau kennen.

This book features many high-quality images that demonstrate normal avian anatomic and radiographic features in a wide variety of species so that you can recognize abnormal features. It includes directions for patient positioning along with radiographic exposure guidelines. Use this atlas to interpret radiographic images and make accurate diagnoses.

Radiography of the Dog and Cat: Guide to Making andInterpreting Radiographs offers a comprehensive guide toproducing high-quality radiographs and evaluating radiographicfindings. Equally useful as a quick reference or for morein-depth information on specific diseases and disorders, the bookis logically organized into sections describing how to makehigh-quality radiographs, normal radiographic anatomy, andinterpretation of radiographic abnormalities. It is packedwith checklists for systematic evaluation, numerous figures andline drawings, and exhaustive lists of differential diagnoses,resulting in an especially practical guide for the radiographicprocedures performed in everyday practice. Written in a streamlined, easy-to-read style, the book offers asimple and fresh approach to radiography of the dog and cat,correlating physics, physiology, and pathology. Coverageincludes patient positioning, contrast radiography, normal andabnormal radiographic findings, and differential diagnoses as theypertain to musculoskeletal, thoracic, and abdominalstructures. Radiography of the Dog and Cat: Guide toMaking and Interpreting Radiographs is a one-stop reference forimproving the quality and diagnostic yield of radiographs in yourclinical practice.
