Description
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.
