The book is a step-by-step manual describing the most commonly performed diagnostic procedures in horses making it an ideal quick reference resource for general and equine practitioners. The title is a concise compilation of technical information on collection and handling body tissues for the diagnosis of equine diseases. Invasive and non-invasive diagnostic procedures along with common joint injection and aspiration techniques are thoroughly explained.
The manual describes and demonstrates the collection of fluid and tissue samples from all body systems and when applicable, and discusses multiple techniques for collecting the tissue samples. This book takes a unique approach to the presentation of synoviocentesis techniques by superimposing radiographic images over the corresponding joints of the intact limbs. These images greatly assist clinicians in visualizing anatomical orientation with the described palpable landmarks. This user-friendly text includes over 150 full-color images.

Diplomate ACVIM 1987Research Interests:
Although my research interests vary as a result of many years of involvement in the clinical practice of equine medicine, surgery, and reproduction, my recent focus is equine lameness. Through collaborative research we have developed novel and refined diagnostic methods for localizing the source of pain in equine lameness. Other investigations have included the modification of human orthopedic therapeutics to the horse, examination of the efficacy of steroids and antibiotics within the joint, and investigation of innovative methods to improve reproductive health of aged mares
