Because interpreting radiographic studies is an important aspect of veterinary diagnosis, optimal patient positioning is essential for meaningful radiographs. With this handbook, the practitioner and staff receive a detailed overview of positioning techniques geared to canine radiographic examination.

Instructions are clear and concise, making the text useful even directly before examining a patient. Ideal positioning is illustrated by 200 drawings. Sketches of each radiographic view clarify anatomical structures and help interpret the picture.

This book is an excellent resource in achieving optimum preparation for radiographic evaluation. It is useful for veterinarians, veterinary students, nurses and veterinary technicians.
