BSAVAĀ Manual of Canine and Feline Ultrasonography

Overview:

This book is a dependable BSAVA product – it has relatively short chapters, is easy to navigate and has images of the most common diseases you’ll see. It comes with a DVD which is great for showcasing more images and especially moving images which some other books lack.

What is in the book?

Chapters on physical principles, equipment and interventional procedures are included. The abdominal organs are separated into different chapters but the chest is only separated into the thorax and the heart. However, it does manage to give a good overview of echocardiography and the accompanying DVD has lots of images of the heart included.

Is there anything I should know?

If you are a BSAVA member this book will be cheaper to buy through them than on amazon.

Should I buy it if I’m in First Opinion Small Animal Veterinary Practice?

Ā 

This is a really good value book that gives a brilliant overview of physics principles, techniques with plenty of images and demonstrates many common findings on ultrasound.

This book is especially good if ultrasound is a basic skill that you dabble in, rather than providing an in-depth explanation or describing unusual findings.
