Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Thông tin sách: Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats (Hardcover, 766 trang) – CRC Press, 2018. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology, there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge, focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions, the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader, whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI.

• Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience, providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field.
• Contributors are international leaders in the field.
• Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized.
• Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes.
• Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths, so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI, which uses low-, mid- and high-field magnets.

The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible, using many visual aids and diagrams, and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section, each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance, the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed.

This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees, but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.

Editorial Reviews Review

This ambitious book has been long overdue in veterinary diagnostic imaging and it will be hugely valued as a standard reference textbook by everybody working in this field. The condensed bullet point format makes it greatly accessible.

I recently bought Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats as supplemental reading while applying for Neurology residencies. This book has exceeded my expectations by far! I have been bringing it everywhere with me, and the neurologist I currently shadow will be ordering it as well.

"This is a very important resource for practitioners of diagnostic imaging who need a refresher, residents in training, neurologists, and any clinicians interested in learning to read MRI. It is extremely thorough, including even cardiac MRI, brachial and lumbosacral plexus MRI, eye and orbit MRI, and MRI of congenital abnormalities, among others. There are no comparable books in veterinary medicine."
