There are several 'blockbuster' veterinary textbooks on the market, the biggest competitor being Ettinger's Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine Expert Consult, 8E (2 volumes). However, this book is more practical and accessible, with a great percentage of high quality illustrations. Our problem-based approach is ideal for beginners and even intermediate students. Very few veterinary textbooks have such a rich emphasis on photographs: the endoscopic and radiographic, CT and MRI images are particularly impressive. The inclusion of sections on approach to thoracic and abdominal radiographs are unique and encourage an integrated learning approach. Case examples add to the book's practical USP.

The use of small animal models in basic and preclinical sciences constitutes an integral part of testing new pharmaceutical agents prior to their application in clinical practice. New imaging and therapeutic approaches need to be tested and validated first in animals before application to humans. Handbook of Small Animal Imaging: Preclinical Imaging, Therapy, and Applications collects the latest information about various imaging and therapeutic technologies used in preclinical research into a single source. Useful to established researchers as well as newcomers to the field, this handbook shows readers how to exploit and integrate these imaging and treatment modalities and techniques into their own research. The book first presents introductory material on small animal imaging, therapy, and research ethics. It next covers ionizing radiation and nonionizing radiation methods in small animal imaging, hybrid imaging, and imaging agents. The book then addresses therapeutic research platforms and image quantification, explaining how to ensure accurate measurements of high-quality data. It concludes with an overview of many small animal imaging and therapy applications that demonstrate the strength of the techniques in biomedical fields.
