By Charles S. Farrow DVM
With a spotlight on birds, reptiles, and mammals, Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging: Avian and unique Pets discusses veterinary diagnostic imaging and new applied sciences for a number of modalities that can assist you thoroughly diagnose and pinpoint universal accidents and disorder. Divided into 3 sections - Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles - every one part contains precious details on positioning for particular constructions, imaging findings, and extra for every species with a wealth of images to supply real-life examples.
- Atlas-sized radiographs let you simply visualize the harm or indication of disease.
- Comparison radiographs exhibit a standard photo with an irregular snapshot to focus on transformations and assist you determine abnormalities in practice.
- ''Telescopic'' photographs supply close-up perspectives of bigger radiographs that can assist you determine salient issues seen within the radiograph.
- Content adapted to every species highlights the typical accidents and ailments for every avian and unique species.
- Discussions of a number of modalities together with ultrasound, MRI, and CT supply the entire details you would like for diagnostic imaging in a single resource.

It is my studied opinion that the term shoulder girdle, as used by some authorities to describe the scapula, coracoid, and clavicle of birds, is misleading because it suggests functional independence from the humerus, which is not the case. It is my view that all four bones that form the humeral joint and its medial support— the clavicle—should be considered a single functional unit (or dysfunctional unit, in the case of injury).
The scapula and coracoid form a common glenoid, which is supported medially by the clavicle. The principal articular element, the humeral head, is compressed laterally, unlike its mammalian counterpart. Viewed from below with the wing extended (Figure 5-1), the disklike humeral head appears nearly end-on, barely perceptible, and snugged in between the large blocky humeral tubercle and the proximal portions of the coracoid and scapula, which together form the glenoid. Seen from in front with the wing extended (the leading edge or hanging drop view), the proximal humerus resembles the blade of a shovel topped by its three appendages: the clavicle, coracoid, and scapula (Figure 5-2).
