~ RADIOLOGY ~

Radiography is a very important diagnostic aid for a number of equine problems, including lameness evaluation, evaluation of the lungs, evaluation of the intestinal tract. The respiratory system (sinuses, lungs, etc.) is also imaged with radiography to diagnose certain conditions. We utilize several types of radiograph machines to obtain high quality radiographs. For field work, we have newer portable machines that are quite powerful, yet are easily handled. For hospital cases, we utilize a 1000 ma Machine that is very powerful, yet not very portable. The 1000 ma machine allows us to image large body parts that smaller machines are unable to penetrate. We obtain high quality x-ray films in the equine adult of the abdomen, shoulder joint, pelvic bones, back, and stifle.

At the hospital, we also have automatic processing equipment that allows us to develop films taken in the hospital to view the results right away. This lets us repeat x-rays that do not meet our high quality standards.
