Small Animal Radiography: Essential Positioning Guide

Small Animal Radiography: Essential Positioning Guide provides both a refresher in correct patient positioning for the veterinarian and a continuing resource for the clinic’s radiography staff.

With advances in imaging technology (computed and digital radiography), errors in technique are less common. However, if anatomy is not appropriately collimated or positioning is inadequate, imaging studies can be rendered nondiagnostic. Successful radiographic studies require familiarity with the basics of anatomy, positioning, technique, image formation and quality control of images.
