Description
This text is meant to be a handy cookbook which can be quickly grabbed from the self and provide the practitioner with essential information on abdominal radiography. This practical presentation consists of the uses and interpretations of abdominal plain film for the small animal practitioner or technician. The text describes the normal appearance of the abdomen, ways in which the radiographic appearance changes to reflect disease, and common abdominal disorders. Discussions in the text also include techniques for better radiographs and steps to good film reading. The lay-flat binding is ideal for practical use in the clinic.
