Evolve Resources for Radiography for Veterinary Professionals, Nurses, and Technicians, 8th Edition

• 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 visually demonstrate the relationship between anatomy and positioning. • UNIQUE! Coverage of non-manual restraint techniques, including sandbags, tape, rope, sponges, sedation, and combinations, improve safety and radiation protection. • Emphasis on digital radiography, including quality factors and post-processing, keeps you up to date on the most recent developments in digital technology. • 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. • Broad coverage of radiologic science, physics, imaging, and protection provides you with the foundation needed to develop good imaging technique.

• EXPANDED Digital Imaging content throughout to keep pace with industry and prepare students for modern practice • NEW Content on Robotics, which is an emerging area within equine imaging • NEW Content on specialized imaging, including MRTI, CT, and PET scans • NEW Images throughout highlight digital and specialized imaging modalities
