BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Thoracic Imaging - Bog

Thoracic radiographs are relatively easy to obtain, but particularly difficult to interpret. The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Thoracic Imaging aims to help practitioners, students and radiologists alike meet this challenge. The very popular Manual has been comprehensively updated for its second edition. The Manual begins with introductory chapters, which provide the reader with a grounding in the various imaging modalities. There are two new chapters: a discussion of the potential applications of artificial intelligence technology in thoracic imaging and a detailed section dedicated to the principles of thoracic imaging interpretation. The second section is devoted to the individual body systems. To aid the reader with information retrieval, each anatomical region is approached in the following way: radiographic anatomy and variations; interpretive principles; and diseases. Information on diseases is further subdivided into sections covering radiographic findings and the results and interpretation of other imaging studies. Each of the chapters is accompanied by a wealth of images, demonstrating both the normal radiographic appearance of structures and the abnormalities associated with disease. Specially commissioned illustrations provide an extra dimension.
