Clinical Radiology of the Horse

This book provides a comprehensive guide both to the techniques used to obtain radiographs of the horse, and to radiographic interpretation. Extensively illustrated with over 480 superb annotated radiographs and more than 100 interpretive line diagrams, the book combines the best features of a high quality atlas with those of a detailed text book. It presents the normal radiographic anatomy of the immature and mature horse, with normal variations, incidental findings and details of significant abnormalities. Also included are remarks on clinical prognosis and treatment.The text has been updated to include new information, knowledge gained from continuing clinical experience, and the most relevant references from recent literature. The emphasis throughout is on practical tips, common pitfalls, and the techniques to obtain the best radiographs for the evaluation of specific areas and conditions. There have been advances in other complementary imaging techniques since the first edition. Where appropriate, brief references have been made to these techniques, but this second edition continues to focus on radiography and radiology.
"Clinical Radiologyn of the Horse" will be an invaluable text for students, the general practitioner who X-rays horses only occasionally, and the equine specialist.
