This new volume is the first photographic atlas of equine anatomy to integrate illustrations of prepared specimens with correlative images of the same structures as visualised by each of the commonly used imaging modalities; radiography, ultrasound and endoscopy. Additional images illustrate the position and orientation of these structures in the living animal, as they would most commonly be encountered, either in the course of a physical examination (for example the viscera or reproductive organs in a rectal or vaginal examination), or as they present in the prone animal, during a surgical procedure. Thus the atlas has a true utility for the practitioner as well as the student. The only atlas of anatomy that combines illustrations of gross anatomy with radiographic images, ultrasound and endoscopic views to give a complete appreciation of all the structures. Preparations of cross-sectional anatomy aid interpretation of diagnostic imaging such as ultrasonography. All photographs are of fresh material, or living animals, rather than preserved specimens, to demonstrate the appearance of tissues in the living animal, or at post mortem autopsy. Includes annotated images to illustrate the position and orientation of structures in situ, in the living animal, as they will be encountered in carrying out a physical examination or surgical procedure. Colour photographs, with correlative radiographs are selected according to clinical importance. "Clinical Anatomy of the Horse is the only atlas of equine anatomy composed of photographs of rapidly dissected fresh tissue. This gives unparalleled natural color and a spectacular life-like appearance. The dissections are augmented by numerous images made by radiography, computed tomography, ultrasonography and endoscopy that make it easy to associate clinical findings with the relevant normal morphology."--BOOK JACKET Features a photographic atlas of equine anatomy that integrates illustrations of prepared specimens with correlative images of the same structures as visualised by each of the commonly used imaging modalities; radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy. Various other images illustrate the position and orientation of these structures in the animal.
