This book is major in understanding and logically approaching X-rays.Of course it must be combined with other sources- no book can be taken by itself only.
very good indeed!

The online quiz component is useful, however it could be more user friendly in terms of access

This latest edition of Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology by Donald Thrall is a great improvement on the earlier edition (edition 2) that I had going through Uni. The basic physics is much more detailed, and the diagrams are great. Still the best in its field!

This text should be part of any veterinarian's library. The images are clearly labeled and descriptions are very helpful. I refer to it often and almost always find the help I need.
