“This 693 page atlas offers numerous pictures of various clinical situations, assisting the clinician in his diagnosis and subsequently therapeutic decision making. A beautiful and very useful book!!”  (Vet Nurses Today, 1 October 2015)“The authors of the first edition of the Atlas of Small Animal CT and MRIhave put together an excellent reference tool.”  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2015)"...the Atlas of Small Animal CT and MRI should be a useful, comprehensive, single-source resource for specialists and specialists in training as well as anyone else interested in imaging. The atlas provides an overview of important anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of anatomic regions to complement numerous quality patient-based examples demonstrating CT and MRI imaging characteristics of normal and diseased structures in common clinical disorders. I will keep this atlas close at hand for quick reference to help with differentials in my clinical cases." Kari L. Anderson, DVM, Diplomate ACVRProfessor and Section Chief, Medical ImagingVeterinary Clinical Sciences DepartmentUniversity of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine"The picture material and image quality that illustrate the textbook are outstanding, and this is what makes this book so special.  Each figure in the Atlas includes a large header that identifies a specific pathology. The cross sectional images are presented in a comparative format with correlation with other diagnostic tests (eg. pathology, endoscopy, ultrasound) or 3D reconstructions, and always mention the histology or cytology results. In many cases, CT and MRI examples of a same pathology are displayed on the same page, which offers direct comparison of both CT and MRI, and give the unique opportunity to understand the pros and cons of each modality."Julien Labruyère DVM CertVDI DipECVDI MRCVSEuropean and RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Diagnostic ImagingVetCT
