The book is a comprehensive resource that covers not only the fundamentals of ultrasound, including its applications and limitations, patient preparation, selection of transducer, machine settings, and the identification of anatomical landmarks, but also the sonographic features of healthy normal organs, ultrasound-guided aspiration and biopsy taking, Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST), variations in sonographic imaging of dogs and cats, sonographic findings in different diseases, and therapeutic ultrasound. Additionally, the book includes important case studies that aim to expand the diagnostic capabilities of clinicians. The book is divided into five sections: basics of ultrasound, ultrasound of canine and feline, ultrasound of other animals, therapeutic ultrasound, and sonogram in different diseases as case studies. This book is an essential guide for veterinary students, researchers, and teachers who are seeking to enhance their understanding and practical application of ultrasound in the diagnosis of animal diseases.
