More clinics and large practices are investing in Computed Tomography (CT) equipment, meaning veterinary surgeons are often confronted with unfamiliar technical challenges like positioning and handling of the equipment. Even after obtaining the CT images, the interpretation can often be confusing, particularly when surgeons are not used to reading axial and transverse images.
Split into two parts, looking first at the principles of CT and then drilling down to specific procedures by body region, this book is packed with over 200 high quality images, practical protocols and easy-to-locate information. It provides much needed support in choosing the right equipment, providing the exact protocol and coming to a final diagnosis.
