Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat is a diagnostic tool for determining if samples are abnormal and defining the cause of the abnormality, with 386 clinical images depicting normal and abnormal results.
- Offers a brief overview of the methods used to produce a diagnosis and prognosis from a biopsy tissue sample
- Pairs photographs of biopsy samples with photomicrographs of cells obtained via fine needle aspirate
- Includes a useful chapter covering sample handling, staining, and shipping
