Ultrasonography is a very new technique for veterinarians. This practical and unique four-colour atlas firstly gives an overview of the physical principles of acquiring an echocardiograph and Doppler image, then discusses the different stages of the examination. It contains 2-D and 3-D diagrams which show how to carry out an examination and how to interpret the final image in terms of the pathology according to the position of the sound in the animal's thorax and the image obtained in the screen. Not only will it be of use to students but it will also be an invaluable source of reference to those practising veterinarians who wish to discover the potentials of using such equipment before a final investment.
