First comprehensive reference on radiology and diagnostic imaging of non-domestic mammalian species with hundreds of high-quality images and photographs
Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Mammals is the first comprehensive reference to diagnostic imaging in non-domestic mammal species, discussing practical considerations for digital radiography, ultrasonography, and cross-sectional (CT and MR) imaging of zoo and wild mammals. Each species is discussed in depth, covering both normal and abnormal anatomy and common diseases.
The book includes a high number of annotated diagnostic images and clinical photographs in every chapter. A companion website provides high-resolution images from the book. Chapters are co-authored by board-certified specialists in zoological medicine and veterinary radiology to provide comprehensive coverage and necessary context.
Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Mammals covers:
- Practical considerations related to image acquisition, including anesthesia, behavioral and voluntary training, radiation exposure, and patient and human safety
- Primates, including prosimians, monkeys, and apes
- Megavertebrates, including elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and giraffes
- Marsupials and monotremes, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, echidnas, and platypuses
- Marine mammals, including pinnipeds, cetaceans, and manatees
- Non-domestic felids and canids, as well as small carnivores, including Mustelidae, Procyonidae, and Viverridae
- Non-domestic swine, equids, camelids, and tapirs
- Other mammals, including sloths, armadillos, and anteaters, pangolins, aardvarks, rodents, rabbits, and hyrax
Diagnostic Imaging of Zoo and Wild Mammals is an essential, well-illustrated, and up-to-date resource on the subject for veterinary radiologists, zoo and wild animal veterinarians, and exotic animal practitioners, along with zoo residents and interns, veterinary students, and consulting radiologists.
