BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Musculoskeletal Imaging

This new edition builds on the practical structure of its predecessor, with chapters arranged anatomically. Individual joints, the long bones, the skull and the spine are dealt with in discrete sections while soft tissues, bones and joints are considered more generally.

The manual has been thoroughly revised and updated, while new chapters dedicated to imaging modalities such as CT, MRI and ultrasonography broaden the scope of the manual. Indications for use and illustrations add depth to this relatively new area of musculoskeletal imaging. Techniques and findings are explained clearly, ensuring that the content is accessible to veterinarians of all levels.Diese neue Ausgabe von BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Musculoskeletal Imaging baut auf der praxisorientierten Struktur der Vorgängerausgabe auf und präsentiert die Kapitelinhalte nach anatomischen Gesichtspunkten. Gelenke, Röhrenknochen, Schädel und Wirbelsäule werden in einzelnen Kapiteln betrachtet. Auf Weichteile, Knochen und Gelenke wird allgemeiner eingegangen.

Kapitel der Vorgängerausgabe wurden sorgfältig überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Neue Kapitel zu bildgebenden Verfahren wie CT, MRT und Ultraschall machen dieses Fachbuch komplett. Informationen zu Indikationen und Abbildungen tragen zur Relevanz dieses relativ neuen Bereichs der Bildgebung des Bewegungsapparats bei.

Wie die erste Ausgabe stammt auch dieses Handbuch von Praktikern mit internationalem Renommee. Techniken und Erkenntnisse werden verständlich erklärt, damit sichergestellt ist, dass die Inhalte für alle Veterinärmediziner zugänglich sind.
