Veterinarians need increasingly to be familiar with the interpretation
of ultrasound imaging. In this magnificent volume, the authors set
new standards as they describe all the main aspects of sonography
affecting diagnosis in dogs and cats, including ultrasound, m-mode,
pulsed and colour Doppler echography. Particular attention is devoted
to echocardiography, abdominal and pelvic sonography, and foetal ultrasonography.
This book also deals with recognition of the disease process and courses
of treatment. The authors further illustrate cases by using conventional
radiography, computed microfocal tomographs, photographs of specimens
and line drawings. Designed and produced for ease of use this volume
will become a source of constant and essential reference for all veterinarians
in training, practice, teaching and research who need to interpret
ultrasound imaging.

"In
diagnostic imaging... the quality of the illustrations is of paramount importance.
In this respect the book excels, as the illustrations are not only of high
quality but also thoughtfully laid out and labelled for maximum impact...
recommended to anyone witha serious interest in imaging, both for private
study and for practical daily use."
European Association of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging Newsletter
"a delight to browse...I would recommend the text to anyone with
an interest in ultrasonography."
