The Book

Atlas of Small Animal Ultrasonography, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference for ultrasound techniques and interpretation of disorders in small animals. Offering more than 2000 high-quality sonograms and illustrations of normal structures and disorders, the book takes a systems-based approach to ultrasound examinations in small animals. With complete coverage of small animal ultrasonography, this reference guide is an essential resource for veterinary sonographers of all skill levels. Complementary imaging modalities and histopathological images have been incorporated to complete the case presentation. 

This companion website offers access to 125 annotated video loops of real-time ultrasound evaluations, illustrating the appearance of normal structures and common disorders. Check your copy of the Atlas to find the password giving access to this collection of videos. For additional videos, you can explore our video memberships.


The second edition was born from the collaboration of 18 international authors that share the same passion for small animal ultrasonography.
