Product Description
The Handbook of Equine Radiography is a practical and accessible "how-to" guide to obtaining high-quality radiographs of the horse. It covers all aspects of taking radiographs of the commonly examined regions (lower limbs and skull) as well as less frequently examined areas (upper limbs, trunk).

The main part of the book consists of diagrams to illustrate the positioning of the horse and the radiography equipment. For each view a benchmark example of a normal radiograph is illustrated. The accompanying text for each radiographic view succinctly presents the most relevant aspects.

Practically orientated, and including chapters covering such key areas as radiation safety in equine radiography and patient preparation, plus a trouble-shooting section, the Handbook of Equine Radiography is an indispensable guide to practitioners in all countries engaged in equine work.

• Clear diagrams illustrate the positioning of the horse and the radiography equipment



• Contains all the information required to radiograph a horse



• Accessible to veterinary surgeons who obtain most of their radiographs in the field

Product Description

A comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book will acquaint beginners with the basics of musculoskeletal ultrasound, while more advanced sonologists and sonographers will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the ultrasound study to the clinical background.

Already well known book. Has a great reputation !!
I think there's no need to say with lengthy writing.
It covers anatomy in details, simple but major P/E and Hx, critical X-ray and MRI findings and invasive procedure under US guide. Could feel little bit huge and there are so many other books thinner. But, it was written with easy english so that you never feel it's heavy or huge once you get started.
I have 5 books that deals musculoskeletal Ultrasound. I can give my thumb to this book without any hesitancy.
These days people tries to cover spine and para spine structures such as thoracic, lumbar part.
I think it's controversial yet and it could show up in the next version of this book.

an excellent text
This is a very fine book, meticulously produced.It contains a wealth of information, presented in a lucid manner.The illustrations are exquisite.It is the perfect text for any physician or technologist engaged in ultrasound examination of the musculoskeletal system.

Tour de force in MSK ultrasoun
This book is a tour de force in MSK ultrasound. The authors comprehensively cover this expanding area of a technically driven field. Logically presented with multiple diagrams and images. Easy to read and well referenced. The normal anatomical section prior to pathology presentation prepares the reader for comparision between normal and abnormal imaging. This manual must be considered the gold standard reference. A must for those who have an interest in sono-anatomy, rehabilitaitve ultrasound imaging and through to the Diagnostic ultrasound imaging sonographer or radiologist. Consider this a must for ultrasound imaging

Paucity of Image Description
This book is average but not worth buying new. The main issue is that when assessing an image, the book presents too much information on medical aspects of the disease process such as etiology and not enough time discussing imaging characteristics such as attenuation, contrast, position etc. This feels like a watered down medicine text with some radiographs thrown in as opposed to a real radiology book.

A must have!
This book is a must have for medicine. The pictures are perfect for demonstration of all the most commonly seen x- rays in clinic. This book was much better then the Clinical Radiology Made Simple book that my school required me to buy. I've looked at many books in the library at my medical school over Radiology and this is by far the best to review for boards and tests without getting into the nitty gritty of things.

Must Have
Stedman's word books are all very useful to the medical transcriptionist. I have never had a word that I could not find in Stedman's books.I have several!You can't go wrong.

Top Pick for Radiology Transcription
Stedman's "Radiology and Oncology Words" is a superb reference for the radiology transcriptionist.Having been a full-time in-house imaging transcriptionist for years now, I can vouch for thecomprehensiveness of this fine volume.I use many references in imaging,including "Radiology Word Book" by T. Indora and S. Pitman's"Radiology Imaging Words and Phrases," but I would have to saythat Stedman's is the volume in which the puzzled anatomical reference,interventional instrument, or medical mnemonic I'm searching for is usuallyfound.Additionally, I have found Stedman's oncology section invaluable;the above-mentioned references are lacking in this very importantfield.

The only drawback I can think of regarding this fine reference isthat this edition is July 1995.A lot of new medical equipment/terms haveevolved since that time.Still, when compared to the aforementionedreferences described above, Stedman's "Radiology" is, in myestimation, tops.I highly recommend it. ...
