Small Animal Diagnostic Ultrasound outlines the basic physical principles of ultrasound, as well as imaging artifacts and the use of ultrasonography, in a logical body-systems approach. This second edition is completely revised and up-to-date, detailing current developments in ultrasonography. Two completely new chapters on thoracic and musculoskeletal ultrasound, as well as revised coverage of cardiology, CT/MR, and the reproductive system make this edition even more useful and clinically relevant. Full-color illustrations and color Doppler images of abdominal organs enhance and clarify discussions in the text.

Now in full-color with over 750 vivid images located near their text descriptions, Small Animal Diagnostic Ultrasound, 3rd Edition is the must-have resource for coverage of the basic principles of ultrasonography in small animal medical care. Using a logical body-systems approach, where chapters are organized from "head to tail," this third edition offers completely revised and up-to-date information regarding the latest techniques, applications, and developments in ultrasonography including expanded coverage of Doppler imaging principles and new gross anatomic and pathological specimen images. Also new to this edition are 100 video clips (housed on a companion website) that demonstrate normal and abnormal conditions as they appear in ultrasound scans. "This is the book that any clinician that has interest in veterinary diagnostic imaging should have." Reviewed by Denis Novak on behalf of European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, June 2015 "There will be very few clinicians who will fail to learn something new within a few minutes of opening it."

This new version of Frances Barr’s classic introductory text, Diagnostic Ultrasound in the Dog and Cat, has now been revised and expanded to cover the considerable technological and knowledge based advances since the first book was published in 1990. With contributions from leading subject experts, this new book covers both the theoretical principles behind the use of ultrasound in small animal practice and the practical approach to image interpretation. In-keeping with the user-friendly style of Frances Barr’s book, the book is extensively illustrated with photographs and accompanying line drawings. Organised around body systems, each chapter covers imaging procedures, normal appearances, abnormal appearances/diseases and specific conditions. Exotic animals, such as rabbits and reptiles are also included, as are new Doppler techniques. This practical guide is essential reading for all those involved in small animal imaging.

Der Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging bietet eine umfassende, multimodale Übersicht über die diagnostische Bildgebung bei Kleintieren mit hochwertigen Darstellungen von Aufnahmen, die mithilfe von Radiographie, Szintigraphie, Ultraschall, Computertomographie und Magnetresonanztomographie angefertigt wurden. Ausgehend von einem traditionellen Ansatz der Körpersysteme dient das Buch mit seinen zahlreichen Illustrationen als Nachschlagewerk, um die Interpretation von Röntgenaufnahmen durch andere bildgebende Verfahren zu unterstützen. Der Atlas enthält klinisch relevante Informationen für Tierärzte und Studierende der Kleintiermedizin. Sämtliche Körperstrukturen werden anhand zahlreicher Abbildungen gründlich betrachtet, wobei die Stärken und Schwächen der verschiedenen Verfahren in unterschiedlichen Szenarien erörtert werden. Der Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging wird von drei erfahrenen Radiologen herausgegeben und behandelt die folgenden Themen: * Grundlagen der diagnostischen Bildgebung, physikalische Hintergründe der diagnostischen Bildgebung, insbesondere in Bezug auf CT, MRT, Ultraschall und Nuklearmedizin * Normale anatomische Varianten des Muskel-Skelett-Systems, entwicklungsbedingte orthopädische Krankheiten, Gelenkerkrankungen, Frakturen und Heilung von Frakturen, aggressive Knochenerkrankungen sowie Bildgebung von Kopf und Wirbelsäule * Anatomie des Thorax, Varianten und Paradigmen zur Interpretation, extrathorakale Strukturen, Pleurahöhle, Lungenparenchym und Mediastinum * Anatomie des Abdomens, Varianten und Paradigmen zur Interpretation, extraabdominale Strukturen und Körperwand, Peritoneum und Retroperitoneum, Leber, Galle und Milz Durch die umfassende Darstellung der Inhalte und Hunderte hochwertiger Abbildungen, die ein schnelles und gründliches Verständnis ermöglichen, ist der Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Tierärzte und Studierende der Kleintiermedizin, Veterinärradiologen und Kleintierexperten in verschiedenen Fachbereichen.
