Comparative Ultrasonographic Imaging of Equine Lameness
Kees J. Dik, DVM PhD
University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
Today's horse owner counts on veterinarians to practise state-of-the-art equine medicine.
Beautifully illustrated with high quality colour and black-and-white illustrations, this volume familiarises the veterinarian with the potential for sonography through a broad selection of views showing normal and abnormal conditions and assists the practitioner to reach an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment.
Chapters include comparisons with radiographic surveys, contrast and imaging, and describe the complementary value and limits of these procedures. The text contains specific case discussions, with particular emphasis on "borderline" cases.
