REVIEWS
“The authors are to be congratulated on an excellent job and this text, like those dedicated to other imaging modalities, will be required reading for equine veterinarians working with lame horses. Equine MRI is recommended for specialist radiologists and equine clinicians already using MRI, but because of the way it
has been written, students, residents and general practitioners working with lame horses would also be interested in this book.” (Australian Veterinary Journal, 28 January 2013)
"It is also aimed at clinicians who spend much of their time investigating and treating lame horses. For these audiences, this well written, beautifully illustrated and thoroughly referenced text is a must." (Veterinary Record, 28 January 2012)
"This is a high quality work and an excellent reference for veterinarians wishing to learn about this new and exciting field." (Doody's, 7 October 2011)
"This book gives an excellent account of MRI as a powerful tool in the understanding of equine anatomy, physiology and pathology. Clinicians and researchers both now and in the future will be grateful to Rachel Murray for all the contributions for bringing together their experience and producing it in such a coherent way." (Veterinary Practice, 1 August 2011)
"This book is written in a generally very readable and logical format and, as such, is extremely useful to equine clinicians referring cases for MRI as well as those opearting MR systems and interpreting scans." (Veterinary Times, 28 March 2011)
