PRIMA EDIZIONE ITALIANA condotta sulla seconda edizione americana.Negli ultimi tre decenni, la miniaturizzazione tecnologica delle strumentazioni ecografiche ha reso disponibili dispositivi ad ultrasuoni compatti e portatili, che vanno da quelli tascabili ai laptop, in particolare per gli operatori sanitari che lavorano al letto del paziente. Gli operatori sanitari utilizzano gli ultrasuoni per guardare all’interno del corpo durante l’esame al letto del paziente e questo ha dato origine a un nuovo campo della medicina clinica chiamato per l’appunto ecografia point-of-care.L’ecografia point-of-care può essere definita come un esame ecografico diretto all’obiettivo, sul posto di cura, eseguito da un operatore sanitario per rispondere a una domanda diagnostica specifica o per guidare l’esecuzione di una procedura invasiva.Gli operatori di quasi tutte le professioni sanitarie hanno iniziato ad imparare come utilizzare gli ultrasuoni point-of-care e la medicina veterinaria è ideale per integrare questa metodica ultrasonografica con le diverse patologie e l’ampia gamma di animali che vengono curati quotidianamente dai veterinari.La prima edizione di questo libro, intitolata Focused Ultrasound Techniques for the Small Animal Practitioner, è stata pubblicata nel 2014 e descrive gli esami ecografici focused più comuni in Medicina Veterinaria. La prima edizione ha stabilito un approcciostandardizzato per eseguire un esame ecografico veterinario multisistema, in particolare del cuore, dei polmoni e dell’addome, ed è servita da guida ai veterinari per utilizzare gli ultrasuoni nella loro pratica clinica in tutto il mondo. Il libro è stato tradotto in spagnolo, cinese, greco, giapponese e polacco e sono state vendute oltre 2000 copie in tutto il mondo.In questa seconda edizione, l’esperienza del lettore è stata migliorata in diversi modi. I capitoli principali che descrivono gli esami ecografici veterinari fondamentali sono stati ampliati su una gamma più ampia di specie, comprese quelle esotiche, ed è stata fornita una discussione più approfondita sulla specie felina. Sono stati aggiunti diversi nuovi capitoli, tra cui quelli sull’uso degli ultrasuoni per valutare i mammiferi marini e gli animali dello zoo.I capitoli sul sistema nervoso descrivono la valutazione dell’encefalo e dei nervi periferici, nonché l’esecuzione dei blocchi nervosi ecoguidati.Per i medici veterinari che cercano di migliorare le loro conoscenze e abilità nell’ecografia point-of-care, questo libro si è evoluto per diventare un riferimento standard grazie ai suoi capitoli approfonditi, ai contenuti video online e agli insegnamenti pratici redatti da esperti del settore.

Negli ultimi vent'anni l'attività specialistica dei medici radiologi ha subito profondi mutamenti

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. Each chapter is authored by internationally-renowned experts in the specific area of veterinary radiology, disseminating their experience and summarizing the current knowledge to provide an excellent overview of what is currently known in the field. 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.

Nonostante lo sviluppo di tecniche di imaging sempre più sofisticate, la radiologia rimane il primo ausilio diagnostico per ogni veterinario. Il volume fornisce le basi di anatomia radiografica e accompagna il lettore nell'interpretazione diagnostica delle principali malattie del cane e del gatto. Tutti gli aspetti dell'interpretazione radiografica vengono affrontati in modo dettagliato: il corretto posizionamento del paziente, il confronto dialettico con le altre tecniche di imaging e le variazioni anatomiche che possono condurre a errori di interpretazione diagnostica. La qualità delle immagini e la chiarezza delle indicazioni rendono questo testo uno strumento indispensabile nella pratica clinica quotidiana.

Clinical Radiology of the Horse is the best-selling, practical guide to all areas of equine radiography and radiology written by an experienced group of clinicians with a broad range of backgrounds. * Offers an atlas of normal and clinical images, as well as a comprehensive guide to techniques, equipment, positioning, and interpretation for general veterinary practitioners and specialists in imaging and orthopaedics * Updates to this fourth edition fully reflect the move to digital imaging with many new figures in the book and major revisions to the chapters on the head, thorax, and abdomen * Contains expanded coverage of the foot, pastern, and fetlock (now in separate chapters) * Includes a password-protected website with all the images from the book as well as 150 additional images with examples of more subtle lesions, more fractures, correct technique and positioning versus incorrect, immature horses, progression of disease, and pathological images * Offers an atlas of normal and clinical images, as well as a comprehensive guide to techniques, equipment, positioning, and interpretation for general veterinary practitioners and specialists in imaging and orthopaedics

Written by veterinary technicians for veterinary students and practicing technicians, Lavin's Radiography for Veterinary Technicians, 5th Edition, combines all the aspects of imaging - including production, positioning, and evaluation of radiographs -into one comprehensive text. Completely updated with all new vivid, color equipment photos, positioning drawings and detailed anatomy drawings, this fifth edition is a valuable resource for students, technicians and veterinarians who need information on the latest technology or unique positioning.

Equine MRI is a unique, comprehensive guide to MRI in the horse. Edited by Rachel Murray, a leading authority and researcher in the field with over ten years of equine clinical MRI experience, the book also includes contributions from worldwide experts in the subject. Divided into the following four sections, the book presents key information based on previous validation work and clinical practice: Principles of MRI, including the practicalities of image acquisition and interpretation Normal MRI anatomy and normal variations Different types of pathological change Options for clinical management and prognosis for different conditions MRI is a rapidly expanding area in veterinary medicine that confers detailed, three-dimensional information on both bone and soft tissue. Expanding clinical knowledge, improvements in technology, and practical application of MRI to the standing and recumbent horse means this useful imaging modality has become an integral and essential part of the diagnostic evaluation in lameness and is a realistic option for investigation of ophthalmological, neurological and cranial pathology. Equine MRI enables readers to understand the best ways to achieve good quality images, and provides a detailed explanation of the problems that may occur. With close to 950 normal and abnormal images, this book offers considerable detail and examples of both common and uncommon problems, making it a great reference for equine veterinarians, veterinary students, specialists in equine surgery, and specialists in veterinary imaging.
