Table-top radiographs made easy

"Does the cassette slip around every time you move the animal on the radiograph table?" asks Lynn Kessel, above right, practice manager at Round Rock Animal Hospital in Round Rock, Texas. Her surgery technician, Beth Basar, above left, solved this problem by lining the table with gripping shelf liner. "This inexpensive solution effectively secures the cassette," says Kessel. "The nonadhesive shelf liner is machine-washable, and you can pick it up at the grocery store in the section with other plastic cover products such as drawer liners and contact paper."
