Aprašymas

First comprehensive reference on radiology and diagnostic imaging of non-domestic mammalian species with hundreds of high-quality images and photographs

Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Animals is the first comprehensive reference to diagnostic imaging in non-domestic mammal species, discussing practical considerations for digital radiography, ultrasonography, and cross-sectional (CT and MR) imaging of zoo and wild mammals. Each species is discussed in depth, covering both normal and abnormal anatomy and common diseases.

The book includes a high number of annotated diagnostic images and clinical photographs in every chapter. A companion website provides high-resolution images from the book. Chapters are co-authored by board-certified specialists in zoological medicine and veterinary radiology to provide comprehensive coverage and necessary context.

Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Animals covers:

• Practical considerations related to image acquisition, including anesthesia, behavioral and voluntary training, radiation exposure, and patient and human safety
• Primates, including prosimians, monkeys, and apes
• Megavertebrates, including elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and giraffes
• Marsupials and monotremes, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, echidnas, and platypuses
• Marine mammals, including pinnipeds, cetaceans, and manatees
• Non-domestic felids and canids, as well as small carnivores, including Mustelidae, Procyonidae, and Viverridae
• Non-domestic swine, equids, camelids, and tapirs
• Other mammals, including sloths, armadillos, and anteaters, pangolins, aardvarks, rodents, rabbits, and hyrax

Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Animals is an essential, well-illustrated, and up-to-date resource on the subject for veterinary radiologists, zoo and wild animal veterinarians, and exotic animal practitioners, along with zoo residents and interns, veterinary students, and consulting radiologists.
