Ensure students develop a working knowledge of radiologic science as it applies to producing diagnostic-quality images — and prepare them for the Veterinary Technology National Exam (VTNE) — with Radiography for Veterinary Professionals, Nurses, and Technicians, 8th Edition! Written in a way that is easy to follow and understand, all aspects of imaging, including production, positioning, and evaluation of radiographs, are covered in this comprehensive text. All chapters have been thoroughly reviewed, revised, and updated with vivid color equipment photos, positioning drawings, and detailed anatomy drawings. New to this edition is an expanded focus on digital imaging, new content on robotics and specialized imaging, and new artwork. From foundational concepts to the latest in diagnostic imaging, this text is a valuable resource for students, technicians, and veterinarians alike!
    • EXPANDED! Digital imaging content throughout helps students keep pace with the industry and prepare for modern practice.
    • NEW! Content on robotics explores this emerging area within equine imaging.
    • NEW! Coverage of specialized imaging includes MRI, CT, and PET scans.
    • NEW! Images highlighting digital and specialized imaging modalities visually reinforce key concepts.
    • UNIQUE! Coverage of non-manual restraint techniques includes sandbags, tape, rope, sponges, sedation, and combinations to improve safety and radiation protection.
    • UNIQUE! Dental radiography chapter covers equipment types (film, digital, and computed radiography), safety, positioning, and reading the radiograph for the dog and cat to address the needs of both general and specialty veterinary technicians.
    • Comprehensive content explores the physics of radiography, the equipment, the origin of film artifacts, and positioning and restraint of small, large, avian, and exotic animals.
    • Nearly 1,100 full-color photos and updated radiographic images clearly demonstrate the relationship between anatomy and positioning.
    • Emphasis on digital radiography, including quality factors and post-processing, keeps students up to date on the most recent developments in digital technology.
    • Broad coverage of radiologic science, physics, imaging, and protection provides students with the foundation needed to develop good imaging technique.
