Jean-Marie Denoix is the world's leading equine musculoskeletal system
anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic
ultrasonographers. There is therefore nobody better to compile a
reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and
fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic
ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging
techniques require in depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate
interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this
must be a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy.
This book provides a unique contribution and is an invaluable reference
text. The image quality is extraordinarily high and the multiple views
of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed
evaluation. Each part opens with a characteristically superb anatomical
drawing by the author. Each spread of pages deals with a single
dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled black and
white equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required.
The book is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size. The
atlas is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study,
complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.
