Summary

This Foundation Manual replaces the classic BSAVA Manual of Diagnostic Imaging as an introduction for veterinary students, nurses and new graduates. The Manual includes many high-quality radiographic reproductions, with paired drawings to illustrate normal anatomy and key features of interpretation . The first section introduces the basic principles of the X-ray beam and the underlying principles of technique and interpretation. Section two focuses on imaging of the various body systems, with each chapter covering radiographic anatomy, the merits of radiographic assessment, and the use of a systematic diagnostic approach.
