Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging

Comprehensive and up-to-date resource on the interpretation of diagnostic images in small animals using survey radiographs and other modalities

Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging provides a comprehensive, multimodality atlas of small animal diagnostic imaging, with high-quality images depicting radiography, scintigraphy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Taking a traditional body systems approach, the book offers an image-intensive resource to survey radiographs with some other imaging modalities being used to emphasize interpretation of survey radiographs. The Atlas offers clinically relevant information for small animal practitioners and students.

Each body structure is thoroughly covered and well-illustrated, with discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each modality in various scenarios.

Edited by three experienced radiographers, The Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging contains information on:

• Basics of diagnostic imaging, physics of diagnostic imaging, CT and MRI physics, US physics, and nuclear medicine physics
• Musculoskeletal normal anatomic variants, developmental orthopedic disease, joint disease, fracture and fracture healing, aggressive bone disease, and head and spine imaging
• Thorax anatomy, variants, and interpretation paradigm, extrathoracic structures, pleural space, pulmonary parenchyma, and mediastinum
• Abdomen anatomy, variants, and interpretation paradigm, extra-abdominal and body wall, peritoneal and retroperitoneal, liver and biliary, and spleen

With its expansive coverage of the subject and hundreds of high-quality images to aid in efficient and seamless reader comprehension, Atlas of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging is an invaluable and must-have resource for small animal practitioners, veterinary students, veterinary radiologists, and specialists in a number of areas.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.
