Radiography of the Dog and Cat: Guide to Making and Interpreting - Radiograph

Informationen zum Autor M.C. Muhlbauer, DVM, MS, DACVR, is President and CEO of Veterinary Imaging Specialists, PC.S.K. Kneller, DVM, MS, DACVR, is Associate Professor Emeritus of Veterinary Clinical Medicine at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Klappentext Radiography of the Dog and Cat: Guide to Making and Interpreting Radiographs offers a comprehensive guide to producing high-quality radiographs and evaluating radiographic findings. Equally useful as a quick reference or for more in-depth information on specific diseases and disorders, the book is logically organized into sections describing how to make high-quality radiographs, normal radiographic anatomy, and interpretation of radiographic abnormalities. It is packed with checklists for systematic evaluation, numerous figures and line drawings, and exhaustive lists of differential diagnoses, resulting in an especially practical guide for the radiographic procedures performed in everyday practice.Written in a streamlined, easy-to-read style, the book offers a simple and fresh approach to radiography of the dog and cat, correlating physics, physiology, and pathology. Coverage includes patient positioning, contrast radiography, normal and abnormal radiographic findings, and differential diagnoses as they pertain to musculoskeletal, thoracic, and abdominal structures. Radiography of the Dog and Cat: Guide to Making and Interpreting Radiographs is a one-stop reference for improving the quality and diagnostic yield of radiographs in your clinical practice.Key features* Provides a practical guide to making and interpreting quality radiographs* Includes complete evaluation checklists, extensive differential diagnoses, and numerous figures and line drawings* Serves as both a fast access manual to key information and as a more detailed reference to specific diseases, disorders, and abnormal radiographic findings* Discusses both analog and digital radiography systems* Offers concrete guidance for improving the quality of radiographs and the accuracy of diagnosis* Includes a companion website featuring review questions, a positioning guide, and figures and the glossary from the book at www.wiley.com/go/muhlbauerradiography "I reckon that if you adopt the recommended and very logical approach, you will become a real champion in radiography interpretation. Are you ready for the challenge?."

Report

"It may be used as either a quick reference on the job, or for more in-depth information on specific disorders, and is arranged by sections describing the basics of radiographic anatomy and interpretation. Checklists for evaluation, charts, line drawings and visuals, and discussions of both analog and digital radiography systems provide concrete techniques for improving radiographs and diagnosis from them, making this a 'must' reference for any vet student or practicing technician." (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 October 2013)"I reckon that if you adopt the recommended and very logical approach, you will become a real champion in radiography interpretation. Are you ready for the challenge?." (Tomorrow's vets, 1 September 2013)
