The Equine Distal Limb An Atlas Of Clinical Anatomy And Comparative Imaging | Veterinary Medicine

Jean-Marie Denoix is the world’s leading equine musculoskesletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is therefore nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot pastern and fetlock correlated with images obtained by radiography diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in-depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this must be a three-dimensional concept of anatomy. This new edition replaces ultrasound images and most of the radiographic and MRI images with new updated versions and adds brand new images of extraordinarily high quality. The multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation while every part opens with an anatomical drawing by the author. Each double-page spread deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs labelled B&W equivalents plus x-rays ultrasound and MRI scans as required. Diagnosis and management of distal limb lameness require a precise knowledge of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the equine distal joints ligaments and tendons presented in the last chapter. The atlas is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size and is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques. |The Equine Distal Limb An Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging | Veterinary Medicine
