Prof. Jean Marie Denoix, well-known in our horse world, has published a new book.
373 pages of fascinating pictures provide very precise anatomical reference documents.
Vets and farriers will enjoy learning more and more with such a great tool.
The author of this comprehensive anatomy atlas is the world’s leading anatomist of the equine musculoskeletal system and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. He is therefore uniquely placed to offer this reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with radiographic images,diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).
Advanced imaging techniques require in-depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation; this is especially true when using MRI, where a three-dimensional concept of anatomy is needed. The image quality of this invaluable reference text is extraordinarily high, and the multiple views of each area provide a high detailed evaluation.
Each section of the book opens with a superb full-colour anatomical drawing by the author. Each page spread that follows deals with a single dissection shown in colour photographs, with labelled black and white equivalents, as well as further colour close-up photographs, x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required. The generous page size allows the dissections to be shown in clear detail.
This atlas is essential for anyone involved in detailed anatomical study, the evaluation of complex lameness or advanced imaging techniques.
