Veterinary Radiology

Basic Prirnciples & Radiographic Positioning

By A.P. Singh

 This textbook is to provide relevant information in a simple and practical style to the veterinary science students and practicing veterinarians of the developing countries. There is now an increasing awareness about the importance of radiology as a diagnostic aid even in ruminant practice. Many states of India have started equipping their field veterinary hospitals especially polyclinics with modem X-ray machines. Thus veterinary radiology is no more limited to the four walls of the teaching institutes. In order to establish a radiology unit and to obtain quality radiographs it is essential that basic principles are well understood. There are several excellent books on radiological physics and basic principles but are exhaustive as well as expensive. Most of these books are designed to meet the requirements of medical radiology.

Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats

Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats
By Gregg A. DuPont, Linda J. DeBowes
1st Edition

Is it ever appropriate to diagnose and treat oral and dental problems without knowing the full extent of the problem? With more than 50% of anatomical structures and associated pathologies located below the gingivae and unseen to the eye, that’s the reality without the use of high-quality, accurately interpreted radiographs. Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats presents hundreds of actual radiographic images, which are clearly labeled to facilitate accurate identification of normal and abnormal features. This valuable new atlas shows you exactly how to correlate common dental conditions with radiographic signs. Radiographs are also compared side by side with actual anatomical photographs to confirm surface landmarks visible on the radiographs. Correct positioning techniques for producing diagnostic radiographs as well as helpful tips and pitfalls when obtaining quality radiographs are logically presented. This approach helps you produce consistently high-quality radiographs, sharpen your interpretive skills, and confidently treat a wide range of dental problems.
