"Feline Diagnostic Imaging was created by 2 knowledgeable and experienced veterinary radiologists and is the most comprehensive compilation of diagnostic images of cats that I have seen. Although the book is well organized and easy to use, it is not a quick go-to reference but rather an in-depth, detailed evaluation of diagnostic imaging for cats from head to tail....This book is a must-read for veterinary radiology residents, feline practitioners, and all veterinarians who routinely examine cats.... This book is an excellent value for the price, and I highly recommend it for anyone with an interest in diagnostic imaging of cats." - JAVMA | DEC 15, 2020 | VOL 257 | NO. 12
