" In summary, Practical veterinary diagnostic imaging is a radiography textbook that is suitable for veterinary and veterinary nurse students who would like to increase their knowledge. " (Australian Veterinary Journal , 1 March 2013) "Readers looking for a concise overview or review of diagnostic imaging physics and positioning will find that this book fits the bill." ( Doody's , 4 January 2013) "Students and veterinary nurses alike receive a handy reference to everything needed to know about diagnostic imaging in veterinary practice, including the basic principles of physics: all accompanied by illustrations key to understanding." ( Midwest Book Reviews , 1 December 2012) "My first impressions of this colourfully bound paperback are that it is inviting, and not as intimidating as some veterinary books. It clearly delivers what it promises, but lacks something in the monochrome presentation of all the text, photographs, figures and diagrams. It is, though, a welcome resource for any veterinary practice." ( Veterinary Record , 20 October 2012)

"This textbook provides a nice overview of the technical aspects of veterinary radiology and will be useful for veterinary technicians and veterinary students." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2013)
 
"In summary, this book fills an important niche in the market and will be particularly useful as a quick and concise reference for all in the practice. Additionally, it will provide a useful initial text for those embarking on diagnostic radiography." (The Veterinary Journal, 1 August2013)
