Atlas of Canine and Feline Cytology

This full colour atlas provides easy access to the vast and emerging information related to the diagnostic application and interpretation of cytology and cytopathology in veterinary medicine. A valuable reference for Veterinarians, it will help them when confronted with problematic microscopic findings or to affirm an initial diagnostic impression. Covering a wide range of diseases that affect multiple organ systems, special emphasis is placed on those areas in which the application of cytology has the greatest diagnostic value. Atlas of Canine and Feline Cytology clearly illustrates most of the microscopic findings that are commonly seen and highlights those that deserve additional interrogative observation in formulating a diagnostic impression.

Photomicrographs are derived from an enormous collection of cytologic specimens that span many decades of clinical experience.

Histology is provided in all relevant organ system chapters to demonstrate the histologic or histopathologic corollary of the cytologic findings.

Each image has been carefully selected to best represent the normal cytomorphologic features and the notable cytopathologic findings.

Includes introductory chapters on acquiring and managing of specimens and cytologic interpretation.
