Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging - by John Srednicki (Hardcover)

About the Book

Veterinary diagnostic imaging is a critical component of animal healthcare, providing the ability to diagnose and treat various medical conditions in pets, livestock, and wildlife. This field comprises several imaging modalities, including radiography (X-rays), ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear scintigraphy. Each technique offers unique advantages, such as, X-rays are excellent for assessing bone fractures and dental issues, ultrasounds are valuable for soft tissue examination and pregnancy monitoring, while CT and MRI provide detailed cross-sectional images useful for complex internal issues such as tumors and brain disorders. Nuclear scintigraphy helps in detecting bone and organ abnormalities through radioactive tracers. Veterinary diagnostic imaging enhances the accuracy of diagnoses, facilitates early disease detection, guides surgical procedures, and improves treatment outcomes. This non-invasive approach not only improves the quality of care but also advances veterinary science, ensuring better health and well-being for animals. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of veterinary diagnostic imaging. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of veterinary sciences in recent times. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
