Radiology is a routine diagnostic procedure in all fields ofclinical veterinary practice, and exotic medicine is no exception.Besides an increasing interest and concurrent demand for a higherlevel of care of these species, very little is reported in thescientific literature about normal radiographic patterns, andradiographic abnormalities are generally limited to case reports. Clinical Radiology of Exotic Companion Mammals isdesigned to fill this gap. It provides a practical resource forveterinarians wishing to add these special species to theirclinical practice, and a ready reference for those alreadyincluding those species among their caseload. Clearly labelednormal images will aid anyone interested in comparativeradiographic anatomy, and the techniques section will help overcomedifficulties related to the smaller size of many exotic companionmammals. Features of the book include: * * wide range of exotic mammal species beyond ferrets, rabbits,and rodents, including species such as marsupials, hedgehogs andpotbellied pigs * a review of the basic principles of radiology, equipment,radiologic techniques and patient positioning helpful foroptimizing exotic companion mammal radiography * an extensive review of both normal and pathologic radiographicpatterns. Some of the latter are accompanied by clinical orsurgical images to aid the practitioner in familiarization with awide range of both common and uncommon lesions.weiterlesen
