Canine and Feline Cytopathology - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 4th Edition

• Comprehensive coverage of all body systems and body fluids emphasizes the application of aspirate biopsy cytopathology for greatest diagnostic impact.
• Exceptional-quality, full-color photomicrographs include detailed figure legends.
• Helpful hints for improving specimen quality are provided in discussions of common errors and problems, resulting in more diagnostically effective, cost-effective use of cytopathology.
• Discussions of clinical findings, differential diagnostic considerations, and the rationale are included for the final cytopathological diagnosis.
• Additional photomicrographs in organ system chapters demonstrate the histological or histopathologic corollary of cytopathologic findings.
• Easy-to-use, well-organized format includes many tables, algorithms, boxes, and Key Point callouts for at-a-glance reference.
• Clear, concise descriptions include sampling techniques, slide preparation and examination, and guidelines for interpretation, leading to accurate in-house and commercial laboratory diagnosis.
• Extensively revised organ system-based chapters include focused contemporary references.

• NEW! 700 crisp, all-new images more closely match the colors representative of the actual microscopic view.
• NEW! Expanded content combines coverage of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas and adds a new emphasis on the ear, specifically otic sample collection and cytopathology.
• NEW! All-new appendices provide quick reference to infectious agents, immunocytochemistry, reporting, molecular and immunologic testing, quality assurance, and more.
• NEW! Enhanced eBook is included with each new print purchase, providing access to a fully searchable text online — available on a variety of devices.
