Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head

Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head presents a clear and complete view of the complex anatomy of the equine head using cross–sectional imaging.   The gross anatomy of a one–centimeter section of the equine head is compared to identical slices in CT and MRI in the transverse, sagittal, and dorsal planes.  To aid in the identification of clinically important structures, the book covers oral, dental, nasal, sinus, ophthalmic, auricular, laryngeal, hyoid apparatus and tongue structures.

The atlas offers 326 gross photographs, radiographs, CT images, and MRI images, with all structures indicated using color–coded labels.  Veterinary students, equine practitioners, surgeons and imaging specialists who wish to foster a clear understanding of the anatomy of the structures involved in the equine head will find Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head an essential resource.
