5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introductory book, July 31, 2000

This review is from: Diagnostic Radiology and Ultrasonography of the Dog and Cat (Hardcover)

This text looks a little thin for $ 99 but once you look at the quality and number of its pictures you realize that it is worth every penny. I missed a more detailed description on how to take radiographs as great as the ones the authors show, and the part on ultrasonography might be a little more comprehensive. Or maybe it is that the part on radiology is so darn good than nothing else can match it! If you need to learn radiology, buy it and enjoy yourself for hours by looking at the beautiful pictures and reading the excellent descriptions.
