The CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a real breakthrough for dentistry because it offers many advantages: low radiation dose to patients, high definition with very small voxels, the possibility to see the tooth and the surrounding structures in three different planes, overcoming any anatomical overlapping. The introductory chapters provide the reader with the knowledge and basic tools to understand the CBCT. Everything else is an atlas, highly enjoyable, which includes the use of CBCT in both clinical and surgical dentistry, and describes in details not only the diagnostic phase but also the operational use to program the individual case, and control the future outcome.

Manuel Fernández Sánchez, author of the best seller The Oestrus Cycle of the Cow. A Photographic Atlas, now brings us his second book Reproduction and ultrasound examination in cattle, published by Servet. It offers a detailed comparison of the uterine and ovarian structures in all phases of the oestrous cycle. This publication is characterized by an original introduction to both photographic and ultrasound images of the different anatomical structures and their pathological conditions. In this way, the author succeeds in simplifying the interpretation of reproductive diagnosis using ultrasound, by guiding the reader and enabling him to visualise the structures on which ultrasonography is performed.
The cow’s peripartum period from a practical and dynamic point of view, explained through theoretical explanations and a huge collection of clinical cases. Normally, disorders or conditions occurring in the peripartum period are not independent events; they are the result of the interaction of several events occurring over time. The authors highlight here the importance of assessing bovine pathologies as a whole. It is the only manner for the clinician to anticipate conditions that may appear during the peripartum period.
