Abdominal Radiology For The Small Animal Practitioner
The goals of this book are to help the reader acquire good techniques for making and interpreting radiographs of the abdomen, and to give the reader a good basic knowledge of special procedures available to gain additional diagnostic information. Although ultrasonography has added immeasurable diagnostic capability, abdominal radiography frequently can yield additional information by providing a panoramic view of the abdomen and by allowing examination of tissues hidden from the ultrasound beam by bone or gas.
