Editorial Reviews

Review

"It deserves a place on the practice bookshelf for its numerous useful clinical tips and cases..... excellent illustrations.......a pleasure to read."--The Veterinary Record

"A delightful book that would be of practical use to both new graduates and experienced surgeons wishing to tackle more complicated cases."--Veterinary Times

"An excellent resource for veterinary students, surgical residents and general practitioners... There are many clear and useful illustrations demonstrating the proper technique for performing a variety of imaging studies... contains information that would be most useful to the veterinary student, although practitioners will find the detailed technical descriptions of intravenous urography and retrograde contrast studies to be very valuable... The photographs and diagrams are of high quality and are quite useful... Overall, I found the text to be easy to read, and a useful addition to any veterinary library. The authorís extensive experience in this area is evident throughout this well written textbook."--Kyle G. Matthews, JSAP, 1 December 2010
