Clinical Radiology of the Horse is the only book dedicatedto the horse which provides a comprehensive overview of radiographyand radiology of all areas of the horse. It provides a thoroughguide both to the techniques used to obtain radiographs of thehorse and to radiographic interpretation. With almost 600 superbannotated radiographs and more than 120 line diagrams, the bookcombines the best features of a high quality atlas and those of adetailed reference book.
The normal radiographic anatomy of immature and mature horses ispresented with normal variations, incidental findings and detailsof significant abnormalities. Remarks on clinical prognosis andtreatment are also included. The emphasis throughout is onpractical tips, common pitfalls, and the techniques used to obtainthe best radiographs of specific areas and conditions.
Changes for the third edition:
Significantly enlarged to include a chapter on digitalradiography
Includes descriptions of several new radiographicprojections
Many of the images have been replaced by digital images
A wealth of new illustrations have been added
Presents expanded information on processing and imagequality
Updated to include new information, knowledge gained fromcontinued clinical experience and the most relevant references fromrecent literature
CD included with the book presents all the radiographic imagesin electronic format
Since publication of the Second Edition, there have been majoradvances in other imaging techniques, including scintigraphy,ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonanceimaging. This third edition still focuses on radiography andradiology, but acknowledges the limitations of radiography in somecircumstances. In these situations, reference is made to otherimaging techniques which may be appropriate, along with suggestionsfor further reading.

"The third edition of Clinical Radiology of the Horse has been substantially updated and expanded from the second edition but it still remains true to the format that has made it so valued by equine practitioners and specialists. Although this edition remains focused on equine radiography and radiology, alternative imaging techniques that are increasingly available to practitioners are among the new information and updated literature references. The strengths of this book include the abundance of illustrations as well as the incorporation of the clinical experience of the authors in the discussion of disease conditions. The excellent line drawings remain from the previous editions, but many of the original radiographic illustrations have been replaced by digital images; this results in increased image quality in the text. A CD-ROM with images and illustrations from the book is included. The CD-ROM is searchable by words included in the image captions nad can be used as a quick reference or for client education... An exceptional reference that should be in the library of every equine practice." - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, June 2009
"This is the only equine radiology book that I have found to be clinically relevant for everyday practice, both in a general ambulatory practice and in a specialty practice. The imagines and illustrations, as well as the descriptions on technique, positioning, and radiographic conditions, set this book apart from others on the subject. This third edition is a welcome update." - Doody's Reviews, April 2009
"[This book] illustrates the continuing importance of radiology in equine veterinary medicine--notwithstanding the impact of other imaging techniques on our understanding. This book is an invaluable aid to obtaining and interpreting radiographic images of horses and should on the shelf of--and read by--all veterinary surgeons attempting to do so." - Veterinary Times, May 2009
