The Equine Distal Limb: Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging

Jean-Marie Denoix is the world's leading equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is, therefore, nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in-depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this must be a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy.This book provides a unique contribution and will be an invaluable reference text. The image quality is extraordinarily high and the multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation. Each part opens with characteristically superb anatomical drawing by the author. Each spread of pages deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled black and white equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required. The book is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size.The atlas will be essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.Jean-Marie Denoix is the author of 'The Equine Distal Limb: Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging', published 2000 under ISBN 9780813802497 and ISBN 0813802490.
