Preface
The Clinical Atlas of Small Animal Cytology and Hematology returns, with brand new hematology chapters and fully updated cytology sections. More comprehensive than ever, the mission of this textbook remains unchanged: to empower veterinary medical professionals with increased knowledge and confidence in cytology and hematology through exceptional images, a guided approach to interpretation, and succinct yet thorough supporting text.
Images form the keystone of this atlas, and this extensive collection is unparalleled for the size, clarity, completeness, and representative nature of the photomicrographs. The images have been carefully curated to mimic the experience of microscopy and highlight the important diagnostic features that lead to the confident interpretation of samples. The power of these uniquely large images is perhaps best highlighted in the new hematology chapters, where they readily showcase the frequently small cells, infectious agents, and inclusions present in the blood.
Multiple examples of common conditions are provided to highlight the exciting (though often challenging) variations that may be encountered in practice. Additionally, images of different cells that may be confused with each other have been thoughtfully arranged for easy side-byside comparison. Photomicrographs are accompanied by detailed descriptions, figure legends and annotated with arrows when needed to guide readers through the diagnostic process and ensure all important elements of samples are appreciated. Chapter 2 provides a guided approach to the interpretation of cytology samples, including cell types, criteria of malignancy, and common artifacts. This atlas contains only images of conditions where the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology, special stains, infectious disease testing, pathognomonic cytologic features, or other confirmatory tests. All samples are stained with Romanowsky stains unless otherwise specified.
An in-depth hematology section is an exciting new addition to this textbook. Chapter 16 provides detailed instructions to prepare and stain high-quality blood smears, and a step-by-step guide that can be used at the microscope for a complete evaluation of the smear. Common hematology procedures are also described, with easy-to-follow instructions. Subsequent chapters in the hematology section provide a comprehensive catalog of cells, inclusions, infectious agents, and other components seen in blood, both common and rare, accompanied by interpretive guides, helpful hints, and fully referenced text.
The cytology chapters have been fully revised, and all contain new conditions and images. A new chapter detailing sample acquisition, preparation, and staining opens the textbook to help ensure the creation of the highest quality samples – important for viewing in-house, with point-ofcare analyzers, or submission to the laboratory. Our knowledge of the complex world of pathology is constantly changing, and this edition has been critically referenced with the most current, relevant, and scientifically robust studies to aide in optimal, evidence-based decision-making. This edition retains the popular easy-to-read bullet point format, which increases efficiency without compromising the completeness or scientific rigor of the information.
From practitioners to pathologists, trainees to technicians, and every professional that makes veterinary medicine great, may the Clinical Atlas of Small Animal Cytology and Hematology be a powerful resource to help in our collective endeavor for the best possible patient care.
