Practical Computed Tomography (CT) Guide for the Small Animal Orthopaedic and Neurosurgeon addresses the increasing use of veterinary CT in small animal practice, where clinicians are often faced with technical challenges in positioning, equipment handling, and image interpretation.
The book is divided into two parts, beginning with the principles of computed tomography and progressing to body-region–specific CT procedures. With over 200 high-quality images, practical protocols, and clearly structured guidance, it supports accurate CT interpretation and clinical decision-making.
Practical Computed Tomography (CT) Guide for the Small Animal Orthopaedic and Neurosurgeon PDF provides practical support for orthopaedic and neurosurgical imaging, from equipment selection and scanning protocols to diagnosis in small animal patients.
