Radiographic Safety &
Positioning

• Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) (lead apron, gloves, thyroid shield)

• Correct animal positioning for common views (lateral, VD, DV, etc.)

• Use of positioning aids (sandbags, foam wedges) to minimize motion

Image Acquisition &
Quality Control

• Proper exposure settings (kVp, mAs) for optimal image quality

• Use of collimation and correct patient centering

• Identifying and correcting common radiographic artifacts

Interpretation &
Evaluation

• Recognizing normal vs. abnormal anatomical structures

• Assessing radiographic density, contrast, and positioning accuracy

• Identifying common pathological changes (fractures, masses, organ enlargement)
