Small Animal Radiology and Ultrasound

This one-of-a-kind text atlas is a must-have for veterinarians and veterinary radiologists. A wealth of superb illustrations demonstrate the correlation between radiographic and ultrasound images. As diagnostic radiology and ultrasound imaging continue to play a vital role in the practice of small animal medicine, it's crucial that practitioners stay abreast of the very latest technology with a tool such as Small Animal Radiology and Ultrasonography, 3rd Edition.

"In 1986 I was fortunate enough to be asked to review (and keep!) the original incarnation of this text, then authored by Burk and Ackerman.

I congratulated the somewhat brief text and the accompanying images for adopting a roentgen sign approach to radiodiagnostic method. I am now pleased to report that the modern undergraduate is taught imaging by recognised and trained imaging specialists, and so the algorithmic approach is now second nature. This style of book can therefore reinforce that system, and by providing good quality example images can become an outstanding teaching and reference text.
The cost, at £99 for a hard back, glossy paper, black and white (do radiologists need colour?) text, is typical in veterinary publishing and good value. I believe the publishers have mostly reproduced the images accurately.

In any imaging modality, separating pathological change from normal anatomical variants and technique-induced artefact is paramount. Each chapter offers helpful advice on technique and its possible effect on the image.

This is a substantial text that has been updated effectively.

I would recommend any imaging department, practice specialist or trainee radiologist to own or have ready access to a copy.

I will treasure this copy and wonder whether I will be lucky enough to be invited to comment on a future edition." JV Davies, Veterinary Times, August 2003
list of illustrations included is a useful addition to the index, allowing a quick check, section by section, for illustration of a particular condition.
It successfully demonstrates radiographic and ultrasonographic changes in disease. These are the two imaging techniques in widespread use in small animal practice, and it will be helpful to many to have the information all together in one book" frances barr, the veterinary record, September 2003
