Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology. This item is unavailable.Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology

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.

In-depth coverage of the radiographic anatomy of the dog, cat, and horse enables the reader to recognize the more frequently radiographed regions.

A body systems approach presents information in a logical progression and makes topics easy to find.

Discussion of the physics of radiology, CT, and MRI gives readers a better understanding of the radiographic process.

Information on radiation safety highlights safety measures associated with ionizing radiation.

Questions with answers reinforce important points and facilitate a better understanding of diagnostic radiology.

High-quality radiographs provide excellent examples of diagnostic criteria

Coverage of ultrasound physics is incorporated into this edition.

Interpretation paradigms - modules set up to demonstrate how to properly interpret a radiograph - are included for:

the axial skeleton

the appendicular skeleton - canine & feline

the appendicular skeleton - equine

the tarsus

the thorax - canine and feline

the abdomen - canine and feline

Dr. Thrall graduated from the Purdue University Veterinary School in 1969 and completed Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at Colorado State University in 1971 and 1974, respectively. He held faculty positions at the University of Georgia and the University of Pennsylvania before spending 30 years on the faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine of North Carolina State University. Following nearly two-years on the faculty of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, he returned to North Carolina State University where he holds a part time faculty appointment as Clinical Professor. Dr. Thrall is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Radiology in both diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology. Dr. Thrall's primary imaging interests are CT and MRI, particularly relating to tumor morphology and tumor physiology
