E-raamat: Radiology of Birds - E-Book: An Atlas of Normal Anatomy and Positioning

Both professors of veterinary medicine at U. of California, Davis, Silverman and Tell have produced an excellent resource for those who treat pet birds and wild birds commonly brought into their facilities. The opening chapters describe the equipment and positioning techniques and present precise anatomical drawings of a bird's viscera, skull, and skeleton. The remaining chapters present radiographic images of 12 types of domestic birds and 4 wild birds--pigeon, mallard, red tailed hawk, and great horned owl. Each radiograph is presented twice, once without and once with an overlay drawing of the parts of the anatomy, which are each clearly indicated with a line and number referring to the accompanying key. The images are also on the CD-ROM. The volume is oversized (9.25x12.25"); the drawings are by Kathy West. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Use this atlas to interpret radiographic images and make accurate diagnoses! Hundreds of high-quality images clearly demonstrate normal avian anatomic and radiographic features in a wide variety of species so that you can recognize abnormal features. This book includes detailed directions for patient positioning along with radiographic exposure guidelines, ensuring that you obtain the highest quality diagnostic images.

• Complete directions for positioning during radiographic examination help you take high-quality radiographs for accurate interpretation.
• Radiographic exposure guidelines are provided for each species and radiographic view, so you can determine optimal settings and technique.
• Line drawings are superimposed on radiographic images, so you can identify anatomic structures accurately.
• Alternative imaging studies - including CT, MRI, ultrasound, GI, urogram, and other contrast media studies -allow advanced diagnostic interpretation.
• A companion CD includes all of the radiographic images in the book for digital monitor viewing.
