[Histonet] Veterinary version of Ackermans' surgical pathology

[Kathy Cormier]

>Hey Greg and the rest of the Histonet Gang,


I suppose that I should mention that this is for training a med tech 
(snatched one from the dark side!!) in mouse surveillance, we are trying to 
get a guideline in place so that this tech will have a better idea of what 
is normal and what is outside of normal limits. Spontaneous tumors and 
lesions are pretty clear and easy to see, but "slightly enlarged kidney" is 
a bit harder to define and to learn. We know that this is just one of those 
learning curves and it the more mice this tech sees the better he will be, 
but we were hoping to make it a bit easier for him. We do have a nice atlas 
for him to help ID organs in rodents, so we are not completely out in the cold!

Thanks for all the help!
