Equip yourself to make accurate diagnoses and achieve successful treatment outcomes with this highly visual comprehensive 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 provides an in-depth look at both normal and non-standard subjects along with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations. 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 explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling practitioners to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles. * 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 — prevents clinical under- and over-diagnosing. * IN-DEPTH COVERAGE OF PATIENT POSITIONING AND RADIOGRAPHIC EXPOSURE GUIDELINES assist clinicians in producing the very best results. * UNLABELED RADIOGRAPHS ALONG SIDE LABELED COUNTERPARTS clarifies important anatomic structures of clinical interest. * HIGH-QUALITY DIGITAL IMAGES provide excellent contrast resolution and better visibility of normal structures to assist clinicians in making accurate diagnoses. * BRIEF DESCRIPTIVE TEXT AND EXPLANATORY LEGENDS accompany all images to help put concepts into the proper context. * AN OVERVIEW OF RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE includes the effects of patient positioning, respiration, and exposure factors. * 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 clinicians better evaluate the detail of bony structures. * NEW! BREED-SPECIFIC IMAGES OF DOGS AND CATS are included throughout the atlas to help clinicians better understand the variances in different breeds. * NEW! UPDATED MATERIAL ON OBLIQUE VIEW RADIOGRAPHY provides a better understanding of an alternative approach to radiography, particularly in fracture cases. * NEW! 8.5" X 11" TRIM SIZE makes the atlas easy to store.
