Veterinary Consult: It's the best way to learn! BOOK DESCRIPTION: 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.

With a focus on birds, reptiles, and mammals, Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging: Avian and Exotic Pets discusses veterinary diagnostic imaging and new technologies for multiple modalities to help you accurately diagnose and pinpoint common injuries and disease. Divided into three sections — Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles — each section includes valuable information on positioning for specific structures, imaging findings, and more for each species with a wealth of photographs to provide real-life examples. Atlas-sized radiographs allow you to easily visualize the injury or indication of disease. Comparison radiographs display a normal image with an abnormal image to highlight differences and help you identify abnormalities in practice. “Telescopic images provide close-up views of larger radiographs to help you identify salient points visible in the radiograph. Content tailored to each species highlights the common injuries and diseases for each avian and exotic species. Discussions of multiple modalities including ultrasound, MRI, and CT provide all the information you need for diagnostic imaging in one resource.

Accompanying DVD-ROM contains ... "a fully interactive DVD of advanced clinical anatomy which includes ultrasound videos and 3D computed tomography (CT) clips."--P. [4] of cover.

Jetzt auch in englischer Sprache! Dieser Atlas ist eine bislang einmalige Zusammenstellung aller bildgebenden Verfahren für die drei großen „Heimtierklassen" Vögel, Kleinsäuger und Reptilien. Separate Sektionen des Buches behandeln die drei Tierklassen, was ein schnelles und spezifisches Nachschlagen von Informationen und Bildreferenzen ermöglicht. Jede Sektion beginnt mit der anatomischen Darstellung der Körperregionen in den einzelnen Diagnostikverfahren. In einem zweiten Teil werden die häufigsten pathologischen Befunde nach den Organsystemen dargestellt und im Vergleich besprochen. Die vergleichende Darstellung ermöglicht die schnelle und richtige Diagnose mit dem adäquaten Diagnostikverfahren. Alle Röntgen-, Ultraschall-, CT- und MRT-Bilder sind eindeutig beschriftet. Mit rund 1500 Abbildungen ist dieser Atlas ein konkurrenzloses diagnostisches Archiv für die Heimtierpraxis.

"Offering thorough coverage and a practical, visual approach, Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging: Birds, Exotic Pets, and Wildlife is your complete guide to all imaging modalities and the newest technologies and techniques available for pinpointing injury and disease in birds, reptiles, and mammals. Separate sections are devoted to each species, with information on normal anatomy and radiographic positioning for specific structures. Imaging findings are discussed along with specific problems related to trauma, fractures, disease, and infection." --Book Jacket.

"Here is a volume that has no parallel. . . . A good reference book for those interested in the details of avian anatomy."--Science Books & Films "A gold mine of facts. . . . Every library and biology department, as well as every birder, should have a copy close at hand."--Roger Tory Peterson, from the foreword One of the most heavily illustrated ornithology references ever written, Manual or Ornithology is a visual guide to the structure and anatomy of birds--a basic tool for investigation for anyone curious about the fascinating world of birds. A concise atlas of anatomy, it contains more than 200 specially prepared accurate and clear drawings that include material never illustrated before. The text is as informative as the drawings; written at a level appropriate to undergraduate students and to bird lovers in general, it discusses why birds look and act the way they do. Designed to supplement a basic ornithology textbook, the Manual of Ornithology covers systematics and evolution, topography, feathers and flight, the skeleton and musculature, and the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, sensory, and nervous systems of birds, as well as field techniques for watching and studying birds. Each chapter concludes with a list of key references for the topic covered, with a comprehensive bibliography at the end of the volume.

Presents plain film and xeroxgraphy of each view of 12 species of normal birds. This range of species are of interest to both avian practitioners and wildlife rehabilitators.
