Radiology of Rodents, Rabbits and Ferrets: An Atlas of Normal Anatomy and Positioning

Radiology of Rabbits, Rodents and Ferrets

Written by Sam Silverman and Lisa Tell, this practical atlas provides detailed guidance on normal radiographic anatomy and patient positioning in small mammals. Covering rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, and rats, it helps veterinarians recognize normal anatomical structures and distinguish potential abnormalities. The book also addresses advanced imaging techniques, exposure guidelines, and contrast studies to support accurate diagnostic interpretation.
