Reviews

An excellent reference for general practitioners, exotic animal specialists, and radiologists. The book is organized in well-structured sections... The content and image quality make it a valuable investment for radiologists, exotic animal specialists, and residents in training programs as well as for veterinarians whose practice consists of a substantial percentage of exotic pets. - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association , June 2009<p> The book is well organized and offers exceptional images detailing normal and abnormal radiographic studies. Many of the chapters incorporate ancillary imaging modalities including ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The first chapter of the book, on radiology basics, is an extra perk that thoroughly discusses positioning, equipment, and techniques. This is a must-have resource for any practitioner caring for exotic mammal patients. The images are excellent and the detail provides a superb reference for normal and diseased radiographic anatomy of these species. - Doody's Reviews, 2009<p> The number of species included in this book is excellent. It is often difficult to find normal radiographs of some less common species, such as prairie dogs and African pygmy hedgehogs. The inclusion of pictures of animals with lesions if very helpful to see how abnormal radiographs correspond to physical exam findings. The initial overview of positioning should be useful to the novice exotic animal practitioner. The number of species, as well as the number of radiographs that demonstrate normal and diseased conditions, make this book an essential for any exotic animal practitioner. - Exotic DVM Magazine, 2009
