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.

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.
