Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 3rd Edition

Accurate diagnoses and successful treatment outcomes are within reach with this comprehensive, highly visual atlas. Authored by renowned experts Donald E. Thrall DVM PhD DACVR and Ian D. Robertson BVSc DACVR, this 3rd edition provides an in-depth exploration of both normal and non-standard subjects, complete with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations.

A Wider Range of “Normal”

Unlike other books, this atlas goes beyond standard dogs and cats, showcasing non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets, as well as animals with breed-specific variations. Each body part is put into context with a description that helps explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, enabling a deeper understanding of normal variations based on basic radiographic principles.

Enhanced Visualization and Understanding

• NEW! High-contrast images provide excellent contrast resolution and better visibility of normal structures, facilitating accurate diagnoses.
• UPDATED! Brief descriptive text and explanatory legends accompany all images to help put concepts into the proper context.
• In-depth coverage of patient positioning and radiographic exposure guidelines ensures the production of high-quality results.

New and Expanded Coverage

• NEW! Expanded coverage of the neonatal and juvenile subject, featuring additional radiographic examples.
• NEW! Material on the normal appearance of common special procedures performed in private practice, including barium esophagram, barium gastrointestinal study, and positive contrast cystogram.
• NEW! Coverage of shoulder arthrography illustrates the normal expected location of the joint capsule.
• NEW and UPDATED! 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.

This atlas is an invaluable resource for veterinary professionals seeking to enhance their diagnostic skills and treatment outcomes. The enhanced ebook, included with the purchase of a new print copy, provides online access to a fully searchable version of the text and makes its content available on various devices.
