Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 2nd Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Help your students learn to make accurate diagnoses with this comprehensive visual atlas! Featuring a substantial number of new high contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition gives your students an in-depth look at both normal and variants of normal subjects to build their confidence in distinguishing between normal and abnormal findings. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson describe a wider range of "normal" as compared to competing books — not only showing standard dogs and cats, but also non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations. Every body part is put into context with a textual description to help students understand why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling them to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles.

- NEW! Companion website features additional radiographic CT scans and more than 100 questions with answers and rationales.
- NEW! Additional CT and 3D images have been added to each chapter to help students better evaluate the detail of bony structures.
- Radiographic images of normal or standard prototypical animals are supplemented by images of non-standard subjects exhibiting breed-specific differences, physiologic variants, or common congenital malformations.
- Images that depict a wider range of "normal" — such as images that detail the natural growth and aging characteristics of normal pediatric and senior animals — prevent clinical under- and over-diagnosing.
