This essential guide to the interpretation of radiographs and ultrasonograms illustrates normal anatomy and frequently encountered abnormalities and anomalies. It provides easy access to the fundamentals of image interpretation with thorough discussions of the basic principles and techniques for producing high quality radiographs. Coverage includes the principles of ultrasound and its interaction with tissue, as well as how to avoid problems that can result from misinterpretation or overinterpretation of images. It provides a comprehensive review of canine and feline radiographic and ultrasonographic anatomy using a systems approach, focusing on normal features, so that abnormalities can be readily appreciated and interpreted. Hundreds of high-quality radiographs and ultrasonograms, with excellent detail and contrast, clearly illustrate the principles of accurate film interpretation. Provides a thorough understanding of normal anatomy and appearance to assist in identifying deviations from normal. Covers the most common disorders associated with each body system that can be identified by radiologic means. Covers key radiographic principles and procedures including density, contrast, detail, and technique to help clinicians produce the highest quality films possible - requisites for accurate diagnosis. Discusses the benefits of a standardized approach to viewing radiographs and ultrasonograms that ensures elements of the image that may affect proper diagnosis are not overlooked. Provides complete coverage of the abdomen, thorax, bones, joints, skull, vertebral column, and miscellaneous soft tissues in one convenient resource. Discusses the useful, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure of ultrasound-guided biopsy.

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.
