Beskrivning

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 a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. Now fully updated, this remains the first reference textbook to provide a comprehensive, image-rich overview of the current knowledge, focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. MRI images from low-, mid-, and high-field magnets reflect the diversity of equipment in clinical use today.This second edition reflects our broader understanding of MRI’s clinical utility, bringing in the latest research, additional or better case examples, and refinements that reflect how far the field has come and where it’s going. It includes the following new information:A chapter dedicated to MRI pulse sequences in use in veterinary imagingA chapter covering MRI safetyExpansion of the technical particularities of 3.0 T MRI scannersA chapter on MRI anatomy of the brain and spinal cord with detailed illustrationsTwo chapters dedicated to the differential diagnoses based on the main findings observed on MR images of the brain or spine, helping learners to organize and improve their interpretative skillsUpdated information in all previously existing chapters to reflect the current knowledge based on peer-reviewed publications on the specific topics covered in each of themReplacement of many images with better examples and higher-quality illustrationsWith chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions, the book functions as a standalone reference for the reader, whether a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION"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."Dr Petra Agthe, CertVDI, DipECVDI, MRCVS, Head of Diagnostic Imaging, Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists"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."Dr Heather Simon, VMD, New Jersey
