Summary

This text contains information on diagnostic radiology of canine, feline and equine species. Also included are chapters on ultrasound, CT and MRI. Designed to present diagnostic radiology in a user-friendly approach, it starts with the physics of radiology and then moves into interpretation of the radiographs. Radiographic anatomy helps the reader formulate a diagnosis. Questions at the end of each chapter, with answers at the end of the book, reinforce important concepts and ensure that readers understand one concept before progressing to the next. Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-660-6
