Reviews for Small Animal Radiographic Techniques and Positioning
“Overall, this book accomplishes its goals in an easy-to-use format. I suspect that an overwhelming majority of veterinary practices could benefit from using this book.” (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 16 September 2012) “The author set out to provide a ‘onestop handbook’ and this she has done. It is a nicely presented book, written with a pleasing emphasis on clarity and practicality.” (Veterinary Record, 6 April 2013) “This is a great tool to keep near the dark room (if you still have one).” (Vet Nurses Today, 1November 2012) “This is a very useful tool all around. It is definitely a quick reference guide that can be used by both veterinarians and veterinary technicians. It is easy to understand and easy to find what's needed. This is a good addition to the field.” (Doody’s, 24 August 2012)
