This is the first text to make the vast, complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. It provides an illustrated comprehensive overview of current knowledge, focusing on imaging appearance.With chapters on MRI physics and technology and specific anatomical regions, this is a stand-alone reference for the reader.
