Equine Foot Cases Flashcards
A) What views?
B) Where do we position the foot and plate?
C) How do you angle the beam?
D) Where do you centre and collimate?
A) Lateromedial left and right
B) Position both feet on a block
C) Angle the beam parallel to the floor - align the angle of the beam parallel to the heal bulbs using a cane etc.
D) Centre just above the coronary band
How do we ensure radiographic safety for all involved?
Make sure no one is in the primary beam and all people involved on the same side of the horse
A) What views?
B) Where do we position the foot and plate?
C) How do you angle the beam?
D) Where do you centre?
A) Upright pedal / D60Pr-PaDi
B) Place foot in block with sole perpendicular to the floor and plate behind
C) Beam horizontal
D) Centre on the coronary band
How do we ensure radiographic safey for all involved?
Make sure no one is in the primary beam and all people involved are on the same side of the horse - the horse should be suitably sedated
A) What views?
B) Where do we position the foot and plate?
C) How do you angle the beam?

C) X-ray angled at 60 degree if on tunnel, if in block tip foot slightly so dorsal hoof wall 85 degrees from horizontal
D) Centre 1-2 cm about coronary band
How do you ensure radiographic safety for all involved?
Make sure no one is in the primary beam an all involved are on the same side of the horse
