Editorial Reviews

"Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head is a comprehensive reference of the cross-sectional anatomy of the head of equids that features photographs of gross sections, CT images, and MRI scans of the head in transverse, sagittal, and dorsal planes. The photographs of gross-section preparations are excellent, and most anatomic features are readily identifiable. Furthermore, the anatomic labels are exhaustive"...... "The provided images should enable readers to recognize most anatomic structures on other MRI pulse sequences"......"In addition to the anatomic atlas, the book contains a well-written introduction that briefly explains the basic principles of CT and MRI interpretation and considerations for image acquisition. Readers unfamiliar with CT and MRI will gain a superficial understanding of what influences tissue appearance in images acquired by the use of those modalities, and appropriate references are provided for readers who wish to learn more. This book will be useful for radiologists, surgeons, internists, and other practitioners who occasionally need to acquire diagnostic images of the heads of horses" (Reviewed by Derek Cissell, VMD, PhD, DACVR, University of California-Davis,  Davis, Calif 15th June 2017 AVMA)

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Lori Madsen, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: As CT and MRI are becoming more commonplace in veterinary medicine, it is important to have up-to-date references. The authors have done a great job of collecting high quality images to help equine practitioners use advanced imaging techniques and interpret them.
Purpose: The purpose is to help veterinarians and students better understand and interpret advanced imaging of the head as it becomes more common in everyday practice. This book could serve as an important resource because there is limited published on this subject, especially with high quality images.
Audience: The authors target an audience of veterinary students and equine practitioners, which is appropriate.
Features: This book reviews the anatomy of the equine head as seen with CT and MRI. The images are of great quality. They include labeling of many anatomical structures and color coding by body system, which is helpful.
Assessment: As a veterinarian, I find myself increasingly using advanced imaging techniques. To the best of my knowledge, until now, there hasn't been a book that reviews the anatomy of the equine head using CT images. This book will be valuable to anyone learning about advanced imaging modalities for this purpose.
