Summary: Veterinary Radiography for the Tech
Comment: Pretty good general (and basic) guide to the subject. As such, it doesn't address things like Panorex x-rays--I guess I would have liked a bit more human radiography as well: a sort of compare and contrast.

Summary: A+++++ for any vet tech
Comment: 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!

Summary: Radiography in Veterinary Technology
Comment: 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.
