"The strengths of this comprehensive text include its easy use,
quick access to current and complete information, understandable
diagrams and tables, and good quality images. This is a
one-of-a-kind textbook that will be an excellent reference for
veterinarians and veterinary medical students seeking comprehensive
information about particular diagnostic procedures or laboratory
tests." (Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2011)

"This impressive textbook is well worth the cost and will make a
valuable addition to any veterinarian's reference library."

March 2010)"This impressive textbook is well worth the cost and
will make a valuable addition to any veterinarian's reference
library." (Vet Med Today, 15 March 2010)

"There are clinical pathology books, diagnostic imaging books,
and diagnostic procedure books, but this is the first of its kind.
A brief review of topics includes general principles for performing
fecal tests, angiography, brain ultrasonography, and cardiac
catheterization. The cardiac catheterization chapter includes
waveforms and critical values and is a fantastic example of the
balance achieved by the authors. The topics are both concise and
thorough. Each topic is presented in a standardized format that is
easy to scan, making this a valuable book for practitioners,
veterinary students, and residents in training." (Doody's
Reviews, March 2010)

"I recommend this book strongly to every practice."
