250 veterinarians, including 143(57.7%) non‐radiologists, replied to a questionnaire on current literature of veterinary imaging.

No book was chosen as first choice by more than 18.4%. Three, Textbook of Diagnostic Radiology, Thrall; Diagnostic Radiology of the Dog & Cat, Kealy and Thoracic Radiography of the Dog & Cat, Suter & Lord, were chosen by 18.4%, 16.8% and 13.2% respondents respectively. Clinically orientated papers and review articles were the preferred contents of journlas. Experience of colleagues and journals were adjudged the best source of information on diagnostic imaging.
