Digital Radiography & Ultrasound
EquidDoc has the latest in digital radiography and ultrasound equipment. Digital radiography uses x-rays to instantly visualize bone. This is helpful for assessing fractures, evidence of laminitis, arthritis, and bone spurs on the farm. EquidDoc offers podiatry x-rays to assist your farrier with trimming and shoeing, and we can directly email your farrier the x-ray images.
Digital ultrasound is most appropriate for visualizing soft tissue, including tendons and ligaments to assess areas of inflammation, sprains, or strains. Chests and abdomens may be scanned with ultrasound to evaluate heart, lungs, abdominal organs, and fetal assessment in pregnant mares. In foals, umbilical abnormalities and lungs may also be evaluated using ultrasound.
