Infos

Practical Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging is an essential and practical guide to the various diagnostic imaging modalities that are used in veterinary practice. It moves from basic mathematic and physical principles through to discussion of equipment and practical methods. Radiographic techniques for both small and large animals are covered. There is a separate chapter devoted to ultrasound, as well as discussion of advanced imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The book also covers legislation and safety issues in the context of their impact on the veterinary practice.

Presented with clear line diagrams and photographs, Practical Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging also provides revision points and self-assessment questions in each chapter to aid study. It is an ideal guide for student and qualified veterinary nurses. It is also a useful reference for veterinary students and veterinarians in general practice who want a basic guide to radiography and other imaging modalities.

Rezensionen

"This textbook provides a nice overview of the technical
aspects of veterinary radiology and will be useful for veterinary
technicians and veterinary students." (Journal of
the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September
2013)

"In summary, this book fills an important niche in the
market and will be particularly useful as a quick and concise
reference for all in the practice. Additionally, it will provide a
useful initial text for those embarking on diagnostic
radiography." (The Veterinary Journal, 1
August2013)

"In summary, Practical veterinary diagnostic
imaging is a radiography textbook that is suitable for
veterinary

and veterinary nurse students who would like to increase their
knowledge." (Australian Veterinary Journal,
1

March 2013)

"Readers looking for a concise overview or review of
diagnostic imaging physics and positioning will find that this book
fits the bill." (Doody's, 4 January
2013)

"Students and veterinary nurses alike receive a handy reference
to everything needed to know about diagnostic imaging in veterinary
practice, including the basic principles of physics: all
accompanied by illustrations key to understanding."
(Midwest Book Reviews, 1 December 2012)

"My first impressions of this colourfully bound paperback
are that it is inviting, and not as intimidating as some veterinary
books. It clearly delivers what it promises, but lacks something in
the monochrome presentation of all the text, photographs, figures
and diagrams. It is, though, a welcome resource for any veterinary
practice." (Veterinary Record, 20 October
2012)
