Radiography is a fundamental aspect of diagnostic imaging that is used extensively in veterinary medicine to identify and diagnose a range of medical conditions and injuries in animals. However, interpreting radiographs can be challenging, particularly when trying to identify subtle changes or abnormalities. The authors of this manual are experts in their field and have used their extensive knowledge and experience to produce a well-organized and informative guide.

One of the key features of this manual is the high-quality radiographs included, which show normal anatomy and key aspects of interpretation. The manual covers a range of topics related to radiography, including patient positioning, exposure factors, and interpretation of normal and abnormal findings. The manual also provides guidance on common imaging findings for various body systems, such as the respiratory system, the digestive system, and the musculoskeletal system.

The manual is written in a clear and concise style that makes it accessible to readers of all levels of experience. The book is divided into easy-to-navigate sections, with each chapter building on the knowledge gained in the previous chapter. The inclusion of clinical case examples throughout the manual allows readers to apply the concepts they have learned in a real-life setting.

In addition to the manual, the British Small Animal Veterinary Association has also produced a video that complements the content of the book. The video is a helpful visual aid that demonstrates patient positioning and technique, highlighting key concepts covered in the manual. The video can be a particularly useful tool for those who learn best through practical demonstrations.
