Radiation Safety And Positioning Animals With Rope And Tape in Veterinary Radiography

We get dozens of emails from technicians and practice owners about problems in their radiology department. Many of these problems are related to technician concerns about radiation safety, worries about exposure badge readings, increased exposure from unnecessary retakes, increased exposure from digital radiography, worries about pregnant employees, and technicians who just don’t want to hand hold animals during radiography. This book addresses ALL of these issues and will help you take control of all radiology related issues in your practice. Every practice should have a book like this as part of their radiation safety training for new employees. This book is written in the most basic terms and even makes the painfully boring topic of radiation safety and entertaining an educational experience for the reader.

Matt Wright DVM MS DACVR spends most of his time behind a computer working as an author and veterinary radiologist. His claim to fame was Animal Insides, where he challenged the veterinary imaging industry with opinion pieces, wit, and his trademark down to earth communication style. Dr. Wright lives full time in San Diego with a (mostly continent and not yet wobbly) Doberman and an Italian Greyhound with a mucoceole. Damaged goods aside, he also provides veterinary imaging services to the San Diego community, works part time as a photographer and endurance athlete.
