Taking X-rays of horses is a fundamental practice in equine veterinary medicine. Our team of veterinarians specializes in performing these procedures, traveling directly to the horses' environment to ensure their comfort and minimize stress.

Procedure

Equine radiography is an essential tool for diagnosing various bone and joint conditions. The process begins with a preliminary evaluation of the horse, where the area to be examined is identified. Subsequently, the animal is prepared, ensuring it is calm and in an appropriate position to obtain high-quality images.

Equipment Used

We use state-of-the-art portable radiography equipment specifically designed for equine anatomy. These devices allow for clear and detailed images, essential for accurate diagnosis. Our equipment includes digital radiographic plates, X-ray generators, and lead protectors for the safety of all involved.

Safety

Safety is a priority in every radiograph. We take strict measures to protect both the animals and the staff. We use lead protectors and follow rigorous protocols to minimize radiation exposure. Additionally, we instruct the owners on the necessary precautions during the procedure.

Diagnosis and Analysis

Once the X-rays are obtained, we proceed with a detailed analysis of the images. Our veterinarians interpret the results to identify any anomalies or present pathologies. The radiographic images can reveal fractures, joint problems, bone infections, and other conditions affecting the horse's health.
