ISBN: 9798178273302 - principles and practices of small animal ultrasonography: an advanced illustrated atlas of sonographic anatomy, imaging techniques, diagnostic evaluation, and clinical applications (1 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ultrasound can reveal what cannot be seen through physical examination alone but a machine does not interpret an image. The clinician does.Principles and Practices of Small Animal Ultrasonography places the veterinarian, veterinary student, trainee, researcher, and imaging professional at the center of that challenge: learning to turn acoustic signals, anatomical patterns, and sonographic findings into clinically meaningful information.From the first principles of sound waves, acoustic impedance, reflection, attenuation, and image formation, this advanced illustrated atlas builds toward the practical demands of modern small animal imaging. Readers move through transducer selection, equipment operation, patient preparation, scanning technique, image optimization, artifacts, and interpretation before entering the clinical arena.Dogs and cats become the focus of abdominal, reproductive and obstetric, cardiac, vascular, thoracic, musculoskeletal, emergency, and ultrasound-guided examinations. The book also explores Doppler techniques, 3D and 4D imaging, elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, quantitative assessment, and emerging artificial intelligence applications.The stakes are clinical: recognizing subtle abnormalities, avoiding misleading artifacts, choosing appropriate imaging approaches, and connecting ultrasound findings with patient history, examination, laboratory information, and clinical decisions. The emotional promise is confidence the confidence to look at an ultrasound image with greater understanding rather than simply seeing shades of gray.Whether you are building your foundation or strengthening established skills, this book offers a structured path from ultrasound science to responsible clinical application. …
