equine radiology

Equine radiology is the use of X-ray technology to diagnose health issues in horses. It allows veterinarians to see inside a horse’s body, focusing on bones, joints, and certain soft tissues, to identify injuries, lameness, or diseases. The process involves positioning the horse carefully and taking detailed images that reveal fractures, arthritis, or developmental abnormalities. These images help vets plan appropriate treatment, monitor healing, and prevent further issues, ensuring better health and performance for the horse. Radiology is a safe, effective tool essential for accurate diagnosis and effective care in equine medicine.
