Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Morphological data are an essential basis for the development of specific medical treatments in wild and domestic animals, as well as for several other fields of veterinary and biological research. Even though diagnostic imaging techniques (e.g., radiology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.) are become more readily available and provide excellent images from different aspects of the body, a consistent and reliable interpretation of the obtained data is too often hampered by a lack of reference data, especially for wild animals. However, the identification of a normal morphological spectrum and its discrimination from pathological conditions is a fundamental prerequisite for a correct diagnosis and an adequate choice of treatment. Especially for those species which share only minor similarities with domestic animals, a sufficient collection of specific morphological data is therefore urgently needed.
With this background in mind, we intend to compile original research articles, brief reports and/or mini reviews with a focus on all kinds of morphological data—on a macroscopic as well as on a microscopic level—preferentially obtained by (but not limited to) diagnostic imaging techniques.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Carsten Staszyk
Guest Editor
