An atlas of ultrasonography of the dog and cat

As veterinary practices around the world increasingly have access to ultrasound equipment, so the number of veterinarians who want to be familiar with the interpretation of ultrasound diagnostic imaging correspondingly grows.

Many practices are considering buying ultrasound equipment for the first time.

Most veterinarians will not have studied ultrasonography in their formal training.Consequently, this atlas should fill this gap in their knowledge.

The authors describe all the main aspects of sonography affecting diagnosis in dogs and cats, including ultrasound, m-mode, pulsed and colour Doppler echography.

Particular attention is devoted to echocardiography, abdominal and pelvic sonography, and foetal ultrasonography.

In addition to normal findings and normal variants, the book deals with recognition of the disease process and courses of treatment.

For comparative purposes and to facilitate ultrasound interpretation, the authors also illustrate cases by using conventional radiography, computed and microfocal tomographs, photographs of specimens and line drawings.
