Hi there - do you know of any good radiography courses for qualified vn as I had a v keen interest before moving into opthalmology and feel it is something i would like to know more on.

My sister is a qualified human radiographer so I do get her to teach me again.

There are so many books out there. Just try and learn the physics side of it parrot fashion. Feel free to throw any questions

Thanks for all the replies and suggesions :D

That book looks quite helpful. I do enjoy radiography, but for some reason it is the only bit that does not sink in. My other half has agreed to be a 'student' for me to try and teach also.

Nick, I may be back asking for help in a week or so if I am still struggling. Thank you!

Hey,

I had a really rubbish lecturer in college for radiography so I bought the 'veterinary Radiography : a workbook for students

its basically tries to make learning radiography fun...if that is even possible? lol

You can buy it on amazon or from waterstones

hope this helps!

Rewcastle...

I struggled with this too and one day it just clicked! I have an old book if you want it but to be honest college notes we had were pretty good, I just went through mine and wrote down exactly what we needed to know... no extra bumph! Read through them a few times and they made sense! Also, with the actual x ray head, every time you use the machine at work try and talk through how it's working with someone. Helps!

I also struggled with this topic! I found repetion helped but also I had one of our older vets explain it to me, he had obviously had it drilled into him at vet school 40 odd years ago and it really helped me.

Good luck :)
