Kurzbeschreibung
The definitive reference for the small animal practitioner to normal radiographic anatomy of the cat and dog.
Praise for the First Edition:
"I doubt that anyone whose duties include interpreting radiographs of dogs and cats could fail to find this book useful." -Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery
"It is an invaluable reference guide for experienced and inexperienced radiologists alike" - Kate Bradley, University of Bristol
The authors begin with extensive projections of plain radiographs, of skeletal and soft tissue anatomical areas. They additionally include a series of the more commonly employed contrast studies. Detailed observations of the normal range of variations seen in the juvenile animal, and between different breeds, are provided. The range of anatomical variations commonly encountered in veterinary practice are described. In addition, a selection of the more common radiographic "pitfalls" appears alongside the "normal" radiograph, aiding diagnosis and interpretation. The book is illustrated throughout with numerous interpretative line and schematic drawings.
Building on the achievements of the first edition, this second edition consolidates and improves on the earlier work:
* Over 50 new figures have been added, and the quality of existing images has been enhanced;
* There are new guidance line drawings and tables for radiographic sizes;
* Detailed contents are included at the head of each section for easy reference;
With over forty years of experience between them, the authors have produced an invaluable reference atlas for the veterinary practitioner. This book is suitable for general and referral based practitioners, undergraduates or postgraduate veterinary surgeons.
About the Authors:
Arlene Coulson was awarded her Diploma in Veterinary Radiology by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), London, in 1980 and has since continually offered a consultant veterinary radiology service for veterinary surgeons in general practice. She has served as Chairman of the RCVS Radiology Board.
Noreen Lewis was awarded her Diploma in Veterinary Radiology by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, in 1978. She has since been continually involved in radiography and radiology within both general practice and specialist centres.
Both authors have acted as postgraduate tutors and served as examiners for the RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Radiology.
Die Autorinnen beginnen mit einer umfangreichen Darstellung radiografischer Bilder sowohl des Knochenbaus wie auch der Weichteile, um anschließend eine Reihe von Aufnahmen zu erläutern, die unter Verwendung von Kontrastmitteln entstanden. Sowohl Studierende als auch Praktiker dürften die Unterschiede in der Anatomie von verschiedenen Altersgruppen und Rassen beeindrucken. Die Autoren vermitteln überzeugend, welche anatomischen Eigenschaften als normal gelten dürfen und welcher Befund veterinärmedizinisches Eingreifen erfordert. Immer an der tierärztlichen Praxis orientiert, werden häufige Fallstricke benannt und Hinweise zu Diagnose und Interpretation der Röntgenbilder gegeben. 50 Abbildungen sind in der Neuauflage hinzugekommen, die Qualität vieler Abbildungen wurde verbessert. Beide Autorinnen sind seit den 80er-Jahren intensiv mit der kleintierärztlichen Radiologie befasst. Studenten und Tierärzte lernen hier von zwei erfahrenen Spezialistinnen, die die tierärztliche Praxis genau kennen.

"Any small animal practitioner or library catering to vets and students will find this an essential reference to definitive radiographic anatomy of the dog and cat. From projections of plain radiographs to contrast studies, comparisons of images for diagnosis, and more, this updated edition packs in over 50 new figures, new guidance for line drawings and tables, and quick reference contents by section. It's a solid reference... very highly recommended as a definitive, cornerstone reference." - Midwest Book Review
"It is easy to see why students of radiography find this book so useful. This is a book that most small animal practitioners should consider buying... it is bound to be used frequently." - Veterinary Record, December 2008
