The book is structured in four parts: the first describes the macroscopic structure of the nervous system of the dog with sensory and motor pathways, the second is about the neurological examination and localization of lesions, the third covers the basic physics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the last is an MRI atlas of the dog's head.
