Veterinary practitioners and students are presented with manydifferent and complex cases, and are expected to offer an accuratediagnosis quickly. The differential diagnosis list is one of themost important aspects of the problem-oriented approach to clinicaldiagnosis. Finding good lists in a readily available form can bedifficult, and can involve laborious reference to multiple textsand sources. Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicinebrings this information together in one place in an easy referenceformat. A rapid reference that concentrates solely on differentialdiagnosis lists of major problems in small animal medicine; Details differential diagnoses from diverse findings such ashistory, physical examination, diagnostic imaging and laboratorytest results; Includes radiographs, ultrasounds, selected diagnosticalgorithms colour pictures and suggestions for furthertesting Saves time spent searching multiple texts and sources, bybringing the information together in one place in an easy referenceformat.

This is the veterinary version of Aids to Radiological Differential Diagnosis by Chapman and Nakielny. The main aim of the book is to provide lists of differential diagnoses for radiological signs to help practitioners with logical interpretation of radiographs. Because the level of radiological knowledge and expertise of veterinary general practitioners is relatively low (compared with specialist radiologists), each chapter begins with a description of normal radiographic appearance. In order to help practitioners plan how to narrow down a list of differentials or confirm a diagnosis, suggestions for contrast studies and further diagnostic tests are listed. There is a smaller chapter on ultrasonographic signs which is structured in the same way as the radiology section. Another chapter gives lists of the radiological and ultrasonographic features of a selection of common conditions.

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.

The fourth edition of Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat remains the most extensively illustrated and practical small animal veterinary textbook on the market. It continues and expands on the revolutionary problem-based approach of the previous three editions, with more than 1,100 clinical color photographs, diagrams, and tables. The book is divided into five color-coded sections—General Approach, Diagnostic Techniques, Disease of Specific Organ Systems, Multisystemic Disorders, and Elements of Therapy. For this edition: Case studies are integrated within the relevant chapters for ease of reference The first section on common medical problems now includes abdominal distension, peripheral edema, proteinuria, regurgitation, and seizures Chapters on thoracic and abdominal radiographs are now included in a unique new section on Diagnostic Techniques, encouraging an integrated learning approach The third section contains detailed medical information covering most organ systems, with several chapters completely rewritten and others comprehensively updated to include additional text and images Additional endoscopic, radiographic, CT, and MRI images are included alongside clinical photographs; very few veterinary textbooks have such a rich emphasis on photographs Each section has a limited number of recommended updated references The practical information is presented with text, tables, and algorithms, while each chapter is arranged to provide the definition of each disorder, its clinical features, the differential diagnoses, the diagnostic methodology, and the treatment and prognosis. The formatting has been improved to make this textbook easy to read and comprehend. The busy veterinarian or student is thus provided with a readily available resource of important clinical information in a clear, brief manner. Written by board-certified experts, the topics are carefully selected to make this a valuable resource for veterinary students as well as for general practitioners and small animal interns.
