    This new version of Frances Barr’s classic introductory text, Diagnostic Ultrasound in the Dog and Cat, has now been revised and expanded to cover the considerable technological and knowledge based advances since the first book was published in 1990. With contributions from leading subject experts, this new book covers both the theoretical principles behind the use of ultrasound in small animal practice and the practical approach to image interpretation.

In-keeping with the user-friendly style of Frances Barr’s book, the book is extensively illustrated with photographs and accompanying line drawings. Organised around body systems, each chapter covers imaging procedures, normal appearances, abnormal appearances/diseases and specific conditions. Exotic animals, such as rabbits and reptiles are also included, as are new Doppler techniques.

This practical guide is essential reading for all those involved in small animal imaging....

    This is the veterinary version of Aids to Radiological Differential Diagnosis by Chapman and Nakielny. The main aim of the book is to provide lists of differential diagnoses for radiological signs to help practitioners with logical interpretation of radiographs. Because the level of radiological knowledge and expertise of veterinary general practitioners is relatively low (compared with specialist radiologists), each chapter begins with a description of normal radiographic appearance. In order to help practitioners plan how to narrow down a list of differentials or confirm a diagnosis, suggestions for contrast studies and further diagnostic tests are listed. There is a smaller chapter on ultrasonographic signs which is structured in the same way as the radiology section. Another chapter gives lists of the radiological and ultrasonographic features of a selection of common conditions....

    Abdominal Radiology for the Small Animal Practitioner - an addition to the Made Easy Series.

From the preface of the book - "It is the hope of this book to help the reader learn to transform a radiograph from a flat black and white picture to a 3 dimensional image with multiple shades of grey to visualization of the abdomen which it represents. This text will describe the normal appearance of the abdomen, ways in which the radiographic appearance changes to reflect disease, basic radiographic techniques, and common abdominal disorders. The text is meant to be a handy cookbook which can be quickly grabbed from the shelf rather than a comprehensive volume which would require intensive study."

This is a practical presentation of the uses and interpretations of abdominal plain film for the small animal practitioner. Among the 172 pages there are 250 radiographs, 6 black & white photos and 2 tables....
