Atlas of Diagnostic Radiology of the Horse

Diseases of the front and hind limbs

This radiographic atlas familiarizes the equine practitioner with all common and uncommon features of the various bone and joint diseases of the equine limbs.

Illustrated with high quality radiographs the clinical significance is defined and additional information is noted if necessary. Schematic drawings are added if adequate to facilitate the observation of small obscure details and to summarize “characteristic” lesions. For this 2nd revised edition many new illustrations are included which cover all parts of the equine limb with emphasis on the various lesions of the foot, fetlock abnormalities, carpal disorders as well as common and uncommon hock and stifle lesions. Text contains specific case discussions and offers clear description of the radiographic diagnosis or differential diagnosis.
