What’s That? A Beginner’s Guide to Veterinary Ultrasound is a unique manual for veterinarians and veterinary technicians new at performing abdominal ultrasounds. What’s That? provides the reader with the actual technique to identify the abdominal organs and evaluate them for normalcy. Alternative techniques are provided to assist in localization of the more elusive organs. This resource is not a detailed textbook on veterinary ultrasound (these already exist), but rather a user-friendly guide on ultrasound techniques.
Filled with more than 260 ultrasound images, What’s That? helps the reader to identify abnormalities once the abdominal organs have been observed. The included ultrasound images, both normal and abnormal, facilitate identification of disease. All of these images can also be found on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Author Tomas W. Baker is the chief ultrasonographer at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine. His 20 years of experience include more than 55,000 ultrasound scans. His friendly, easy-to read style is entertaining and offers readers helpful devices for remembering abdominal ultrasound terminology and structures.
