Develop a working knowledge of radiologic science as it applies to producing diagnostic-quality images - and prepare 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 you 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 (?lm, 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
