[Veterinary radiology in Germany, Switzerland and Austria: a comparative analysis of problems]

The result of an investigation in 1988/89 to grasp the problems of veterinary radiology in Austria left some uncertainties. By an enquiry of 200 vets (49% answered) additional information was received. A comparison between Austria, Germany and Switzerland revealed the same problems: neglected darkroom work. The causes are absent or not seldom false advice by medical/technical firms, the lacking willingness of vets to become advised, false parsimony and insufficient offer of meetings and seminars providing the physical know-how in producing X-ray pictures.
