description: The FIRST text devoted solely to equine ultrasound! This comprehensive, new resource provides an overview of equine diagnostic ultrasonography--from more traditional applications to the most current. It details the normal anatomical relationships from an ultrasonographic perspective and indicates the lesions or injuries that can be imaged ultrasonographically. Readers will learn how to perform high-quality scans of all body systems and how to achieve the most accurate interpretations. What's more, they'll learn how to use the findings to formulate effective treatments and prognoses. Features the newer applications for musculoskeletal imaging (fractures, osteomyelitis, collateral ligament desmitis, more), theriogenology (ultrasonography of the late term fetus and intrauterine environment), and spectral and color flow Doppler and their usefulness inthe horse. Discusses how to diagnose subtle evaluate soft tissue structures of joints, localize fracture fragments, osteomyelitis, and penetrating injuries to synovial structures, follow draining tracks, and locate foreign bodies. Shows how to diagnose a wide variety of abdominal disorders in foals and adult horses. Includes anatomic drawings to supplement the ultrasonic images.
