Abdominal Radiology for the Small Animal Practioner: Made Easy Series
by Judith A. Hudson (Editor), Merrilee Holland, William R. Brawner, William R. Brawner Jr., Margaret A. Blaik

Spiral-bound: 172 pages
Publisher: Teton NewMedia; 1st edition (December 11, 2001)

Book Info
Abdominal Radiology for the Small Animal Practitioner - an addition to the Made Easy Series.
From the preface of the book - "It is the hope of this book to help the reader learn to transform a radiograph from a flat black and white picture to a 3 dimensional image with multiple shades of grey to visualization of the abdomen which it represents. This text will describe the normal appearance of the abdomen, ways in which the radiographic appearance changes to reflect disease, basic radiographic techniques, and common abdominal disorders. The text is meant to be a handy cookbook which can be quickly grabbed from the shelf rather than a comprehensive volume which would require intensive study." This is a practical presentation of the uses and interpretations of abdominal plain film for the small animal practitioner. Among the 172 pages there are 250 radiographs, 6 black & white photos and 2 tables.
