Atlas of Small Animal Ultrasonography, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference for ultrasound techniques and findings in small animal practice, with more than 2000 high-quality sonograms and illustrations of normal structures and disorders. * Provides a comprehensive collection of more than 2000 high-quality images, including both normal and abnormal ultrasound features, as well as relevant complementary imaging modalities and histopathological images * Covers both common and uncommon disorders in small animal patients * Offers new chapters on practical physical concepts and artifacts and abdominal contrast sonography * Includes access to a companion website with over 140 annotated video loops of the most important pathologies covered in each section of the book

Since the first edition, ultrasound technology has continued to progress, offering the operator continuously
improved image quality and additional diagnostic tools. In parallel to the technology, the scope of clinical
applications has also expanded. In most institutions and veterinary practices, ultrasonography shifted from
a complementary diagnostic imaging technique to a screening procedure integrated into the patient baseline
medical evaluation.
Similarly to the first edition, this Atlas of Small Animal Ultrasonography presents a comprehensive and extensive
collection of well over 800 figures incorporating high-quality sonograms and schematics of normal structures, and
of common and uncommon disorders.
The goal of the second edition of Atlas of Small Animal Ultrasonography was not only to update the contents of
the chapters of the first edition, but also to review the construction of the book in accordance with the current
diagnostic imaging practice.
The main noticeable changes are the addition of two new chapters (“Practical Physical Concepts and Artifacts”
and “Clinical Applications of Contrast Ultrasound”), the addition of complementary imaging modalities and
histopathology where suitable, and online access to a series of video clips that best illustrate the real-time features
of normal structures and common disorders (at www.SmallAnimalUltrasonography.com). The videos have
integrated annotations and text to assist the viewer in identifying the key features therein.
All chapters have been carefully reviewed to maintain cohesion throughout the book. Many of the changes are
also based on feedback we received from readers of the first edition; their input has been invaluable in designing
this second edition.
