Description
Practical Small Animal MRI is the seminal reference for clinicians using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of veterinary patients. Although MRI is used most frequently in the diagnosis of neurologic disorders, it also has significant application to other body systems. This book covers normal anatomy and specific clinical conditions of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, abdomen, thorax, and head and neck. It also contains several chapters on disease of the brain and spine, including inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, and vascular diseases, alongside congenital and degenerative disorders.
Reviews / Votes
"The two authors, a radiologist and a neurologist, supportedby two other contributors, each have over 20 years'experience in MRI, and this is borne out by the huge amount ofinformation and images presented." (Veterinary Record,May 2010) "A fascinating insight into the field; the text is well-writtenand extremely detailed.... invaluable as an introduction toprinciples of the physics of MRI and the challenges of producingdiagnostic images without artifacts, and as a reference for use inclinical situations." (Veterinary Practice, April 2010) "The extensive experience of the authors combined with acomprehensive review of the literature published on small animalMRI imaging make this the most comprehensive text on thissubject.... the image quality is excellent."
