Amazing and essential

I absolutely love the content, it is very technical so I kinda have to really love the medical terms etc… It was my first order and did not know that it would actually come with a bunch of notes and parts highlighted. Definitely getting a better condition next time.

=)

Item just as described... shipped super early so I appreciate that! =) Would buy from again... thank you, thank you! =D

You could even say it glows....

This text is like a good radiograph: it's clear, detailed and easy to understand. The retro-style illustrations are fun. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the book is a little light on other imaging techniques (e.g. ultrasound)and dental rads. Also, the author will probably be coming out with a newer edition now that everything's gone digital. That isn't to say that much of this book should be cut. It's important for techs to understand the principles of "old-fashioned" technique formulae and processing, even though radiographs are easier to take than ever before and the tech may never actually handle film. And of course, the positioning sections remain relevant. This book should be on the reference shelf of every veterinary practice.

Radiographay in Veterinary Technology

loved this book. used it the whole time in class. pictures are excelent for teaching aids. would recomend this book for all Vet Tech schools.

A+++++ for any vet tech

This book is one that I have now ordered for the clinic I work at as well as own myself for school. At the clinic, we have plenty of books on how to interpret rads, but this book goes into great detail on how to position animals, and even provides tips and tricks to get the views you want. It is written in a manner that is easy to understand, easy to locate the info you need on a moments notice, and also has detailed pictures of how the rad should look as well as outline drawings on how to position the animal for every view used in a clinic setting. It was also written by a tech for techs, so it is geared towards our course of thinking, which is get the picture, make it good, then hand it to the doctor. Every clinic should have this book!

Radiography in Veterinary Technology

This book is awesome. I am a director of a veterinary technology program and this book is a required text. Although written for the technician, it would be helpful to a veterinary student, or practitioner, as well. This book discusses in detail such topics as the less than exciting information on anodes and cathodes, as well as radiation safety, and the ins and outs of film and cassettes. However this book's true value is in its handling of positioning and the origin of film artifacts,and the determination of the origin of poor film quality. If you need to know how to position a patient to get the correct radiograph for a body part, it has it, from where to collimate, to anatomical landmarks, to drawings of the animal positioned, to a picture of the radiograph that you will get as a result. This book not only covers small animals but large and exotics as well. Trouble shooting radiographic quality is also well covered. This book would serve as a great reference in a hospital for troubleshooting problems and as a source of information on how to get films of anatomical areas that aren't frequently required in the practice or of species that aren't commonly radiographed.
