"There are multiple excellent textbooks in veterinary imaging that have been published previously and still moving forward with historical editions being replaced with new editions. We felt that this text should be first and foremost an introduction to diagnostic imaging, although most of the text deals primarily with radiology. But more importantly, this textbook was meant to be an atlas so that we could show not necessarily the "classic" cases but some average cases and how the same disease can look differently depending on the stage of the disease at the time when the images are made. Being an atlas, this textbook is not a comprehensive overview of all the different diseases that one may find in the literature, but should serve as an approach for "common things occurring commonly." And when there is overlap between different disease presentations on the radiographs, formulating a prioritized differential diagnosis list is given precedence. It is hoped that the textbook will serve as a foundation upon which one can add layers of information (science) and clinical experience (art) over the course of their career in veterinary medicine"-- Provided by publisher.
