Description
**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles as an Essential Purchase in Veterinary Nursing & Technology**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!
Key Features
