With a spotlight on birds, reptiles, and mammals, Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging: Avian and unique Pets discusses veterinary diagnostic imaging and new applied sciences for a number of modalities that will help you thoroughly diagnose and pinpoint universal accidents and affliction. Divided into 3 sections - Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles - every one part contains necessary details on positioning for particular constructions, imaging findings, and extra for every species with a wealth of images to supply real-life examples.
- Atlas-sized radiographs let you simply visualize the damage or indication of disease.
- Comparison radiographs demonstrate an ordinary photo with an irregular photo to spotlight modifications and assist you establish abnormalities in practice.
- ''Telescopic'' photographs offer close-up perspectives of bigger radiographs that will help you determine salient issues noticeable within the radiograph.
- Content adapted to every species highlights the typical accidents and illnesses for every avian and unique species.
- Discussions of a number of modalities together with ultrasound, MRI, and CT offer all of the info you wish for diagnostic imaging in a single resource.

Hawks are more morphologically diverse than many realize, featuring specimens nearly as large as eagles, such as Swainson’s hawk (Figure 2-13), or as small as robins, such as the kestrel (Figure 2-14). A Merlin may nest atop a downtown office building, in a tree along a suburban bike trail, or on a power pole along the highway. It has been said of owls that they are heard more often than seen, although their prey probably likely sense neither, only the bite of the owl’s talons a fraction of a second before being carried away (Figure 2-15).
For example, an extremely ill budgie or canary can easily be radiographed while perched using a horizontally directed x-ray beam. If the bird is too weak to perch, it can be placed in a cardboard shoebox, which is transparent to radiation, and radiographed there. If a bird refuses to remain still long enough to be radiographed, it can be placed in a corner of the box and corralled with small foam panels, adjusted to best suit the situation, and then radiographed. In such circumstances, it is best to work in a minimally lighted room, with as little noise as possible.
