This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Radiography can seem a daunting subject to tackle but this book provides an exciting and unique approach to revising a difficult subject. Each chapter introduces its topic with a list of learning objectives clearly pinpointing the essential information. A variety of exercises and activities take the student through a comprehensive revision programme and this book is an excellent complement to the veterinary nursing student's own study programme.

  • A variety of exercises and activities help readers review key concepts.
  • The interactive approach provides a fun new way to study this sometimes difficult subject.
  • Mnemonics, hints, tips, and key points help readers with memory and recall for exam success.
  • Includes diagrams and radiographs that users can annotate to reinforce learning.

Arvustused

This is a softback book set out into 18 chapters to aid the veterinary student in passing the radiography section of their examinations. It is primary aimed at SVNs, but could be of use to other students where radiography is part of their course remit. The author, Suzanne Easton, is a specialist in her field and lectures at the West of England University in Bristol. She has attempted to make this style of exam recall fun, and it shows in the text. It has been presented in such a way as to make it easy to read and follow. A very worthwhile addition to a student's bookshelf, I would recommend it to any SVN.
