Small Animal Radiographic Techniques and Positioning

Small Animal Radiographic Techniques and Positioning is a
practical, clinically applicable manual designed to aid veterinary
technicians and nurses in correcting common artifacts in both film
and digital radiography and in positioning the small animal patient
for clear and consistent radiographs. Detailed positioning
techniques are provided for each commonly radiographed body
segment, including positioning aids, alternative restraint methods,
and examples of the corresponding correct or incorrect
radiographs. Species covered include dogs, cats, birds, and
common exotics.

The book begins with an overview of radiographic technique,
darkroom maintenance, digital and film-screen imaging, then offers
a section on small animal positioning, including some exotic
species positioning techniques, with the final section presenting
information on contrast media and special contrast enhanced
procedures. A companion website provides the images from
the book in PowerPoint and study questions and answers at href="http://www. wiley. com/go/ayers">www. wiley. com/go/ayers.
Highly illustrated, Small Animal Radiographic Techniques and
Positioning is a complete resource for any veterinary
technician or student to quickly find imaging information and
improve the clarity of small animal radiographs.
