Diagnostic imaging

Radiography

Radiography is the primary method of diagnostic imaging used for evaluating bone and joint diseases. It is used in tandem with a lameness exam for diagnostic purposes. Other diseases diagnosed with the help of radiographic imaging include dental and sinus diseases. Intestinal sand accumulations are also easily diagnosed using radiography.

As we have access to a state-of-the-art portable radiography machine, we are able to take radiographic images of your horse’s legs, cervical spine, back and also their head region. We provide crystal clear images in stable conditions. When taking images, we always take precautions to minimize health risks.

An ultrasound machine may be used, for example, to evaluate the tendons and muscles of a horse during a lameness exam. An ultrasound can also be used to scan a horse’s back region and hip region, which cannot be x-rayed due to the large size of a horse. In the back region there are several soft tissue and bone structures whose problems can be diagnosed using an ultrasound machine.
  • Ultrasound scan, starting from €86
  • A large-scale ultrasound scan, e.g., of the back region €210
