This highly visual, comprehensive atlas offers an in-depth exploration of both normal and non-standard subjects in dog and cat anatomy, providing a valuable resource for accurate diagnoses and successful treatment outcomes. With an extensive collection of new high-contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 3rd Edition, offers a detailed examination of various body parts and structures. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson have expanded the coverage of normal subjects, showcasing standard dogs and cats as well as non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations.

Each body part is accompanied by a descriptive text that explains the underlying radiographic principles, enabling readers to appreciate variations of normal based on a solid understanding of basic radiographic concepts. The atlas also includes updated descriptive text and explanatory legends that accompany all images, further enhancing the understanding of anatomical structures.

High-quality digital images provide excellent contrast resolution and enhance visibility of normal structures, aiding in accurate diagnoses. In-depth coverage of patient positioning and radiographic exposure guidelines assists practitioners in achieving optimal results.

The third edition has been expanded to include additional coverage of neonatal and juvenile subjects, providing valuable radiographic examples for these critical stages of development. Furthermore, the atlas now includes expanded material on the normal appearance of various special procedures performed in private practice, such as barium esophagram, barium gastrointestinal study, and positive contrast cystogram.

Additionally, the atlas features radiographic images of normal or standard prototypical animals, allowing readers to compare their anatomy with the standard reference model. This comprehensive resource is an invaluable tool for veterinarians, veterinary students, and anyone interested in studying dog and cat anatomy.
