Bibliography 650

"One of the strengths of this book is that the authors have managed
to incorporate so much useful material in an uncluttered
fashion. This book would appeal to all practitioners or
students of veterinary radiography... it is a reference manual best
utilized whilst appraising radiographs and with bone specimens to
hand. It deserves to be well-thumbed and reside in consulting and
x-ray rooms rather than the shelves of practice libraries.... an
invaluable addition to reading rooms in both general and referral
practice." - Journal of Small Animal Practice, May 2009

"Any small animal practitioner or library catering to vets
and students will find this an essential reference to definitive
radiographic anatomy of the dog and cat. From projections of plain
radiographs to contrast studies, comparisons of images
for diagnosis, and more, this updated edition packs in over 50
new figures, new guidance for line drawings and tables, and quick
reference contents by section. It's a solid reference... very
highly recommended as a definitive, cornerstone reference." -
Midwest Book Review

"It is easy to see why students of radiography find this book so
useful. This is a book that most small animal practitioners should
consider buying... it is bound to be used frequently." -
Veterinary Record, December 2008
