Radiology of Birds An Atlas of Normal Anatomy and Positioning

Radiology of Birds: Anatomy and Positioning Atlas

Written by Sam Silverman and Lisa Tell, this illustrated atlas helps veterinary professionals interpret avian radiographs by presenting normal anatomy and radiographic features across a wide variety of bird species. It provides detailed patient-positioning instructions, species-specific exposure guidelines, and labeled images to support accurate image interpretation. Additional imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, and contrast studies, broaden its diagnostic value for avian veterinary practice.
