This course deals with practical and theoretical aspects of radiography in veterinary medicine. Lectures cover radiation safety, positioning, analog and digital radiographic equipment, production of radiation, intensifying screens, films, grids, and manual and automatic processing. During the laboratory sessions, students work in small groups to utilize skills learned in pharmacology to sedate animals to learn and practice proper anatomical positioning techniques, and troubleshooting to produce diagnostic images of small and large animals. Students will learn proper placement and care of an intravenous, indwelling catheter for sedated animals.
