excellent resource for students:

I have found Thrall to be an excellent resource text to get a good grounding in radiography and radiology.

excellent:

This book is major in understanding and logically approaching X-rays.Of course it must be combined with other sources- no book can be taken by itself only.
very good indeed!

Latest Edition Even Better:

This latest edition of Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology by Donald Thrall is a great improvement on the earlier edition (edition 2) that I had going through Uni. The basic physics is much more detailed, and the diagrams are great. Still the best in its field!
