learnt both terms at college and we were taught that anterior is equivalent to cranial and posterior would be caudal. So would relate to extremity views. So AP would be cr-cd view and vice versa.

AP/ anterior posterior (medical term) eqivalant to dorso-palmar or dorso-plantar (veterinary terms) its were goes through dorsal/ upper surface of dogs body first

Usually AP would be used in relation to extremities and not body

Not equivalent to vd or at least thats my understanding of it

Am assuming anterior is the same in animals as in humans. I always used to use DV or DP when I worked in veterinary industry but getting used to the human terminology

AP is a term used in human radiography. Standing for Anterior Posterior. In Veterinary Radiography it's equivalent would be the term VD ie Veteral dorsal. For example if you were to perform a PA thorax radiograph it would be DV thorax radiograph
