The Equine Distal Limb

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.
