Radiographic evaluation of veterinary patients is an indispensable component in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of numerous animal diseases and injuries including various fractures of bones. Radiography is the recording on a special film of an image consisting of shadows formed by structures and objects in the path of the x-ray beam. This lecture-and-laboratory course prepares students to position animals for x-ray exposures of various parts of the body, process the exposed film in the dark room, and evaluate the results. The primary goal is to produce radiographs of diagnostic quality on the first attempt. The end product of these efforts, the radiograph, can be considered a piece of artwork in which the technician can take pride. Topics covered in both lecture and laboratory include the physics of x-ray photon production, film response and processing, radiation safety, positioning and exposure of animals, and use of contrast media. The use of diagnosic ultrasonography in veterinary medicine has become widespread; many primary-care veterinary practices are now equipped to perform the diagnostic procedure. The use of ultrasonography in conjuction with radiography provides excellent diagnostic imaging. Students in This course will learn the principles of ultrasonography and gain hands-on experience with the equipment involved.
