This practical and highly illustrated guide is an essential
resource for veterinarians seeking to improve their understanding
and use of computed tomography (CT) in practice. It provides a
thorough grounding in CT technology, describing the underlying
physical principles as well as the different types of scanners. The
book also includes principles of CT examination such as guidance on
positioning and how to achieve a good image quality.
Written by specialists from twelve countries, this book offers a
broad range of expertise in veterinary computed tomography, and is
the first book to describe the technology, methodology,
interpretation principles and CT features of different diseases for
most species treated in veterinary practice.
