Radiographic evaluation is a core element of animal healthcare. While the imaging machine forms the foundation, a range of vet x-ray accessories supports safety, efficiency, and compliance alignment.

These components are more than optional; they build a planned safety environment for veterinary staff, animals, and individuals on site alike.

Vet X-Ray Doors

Shielded doors help to keep emissions confined within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where consultation rooms are nearby, doors with the correct lead equivalency maintain safety. Compatibility with wall shielding and clinical-grade finishes should be prioritised.

Vet X-Ray Markers

These simple aids mark anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and enable accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Personalised markers add clarity, particularly in referrals. Choose markers that are cleanable and compatible with both film and digital systems.

Radiation Gloves for Vets

Even with restraint systems, direct handling is sometimes necessary. Gloves with certified barrier materials guard against scatter. Gloves should offer finger dexterity, be comfortable, and comply with regulatory criteria. Periodic testing is crucial to detect cracks or degradation.

X-Ray Exposure Indicators

Mounted outside imaging rooms, these entry alerts warn when x-ray systems are active. Proper location ensures visibility, often including signs such as “X-Ray in Use.” Integration with the generator’s trigger system avoids disruptions during exposures.

Advantages of a Single Source

Using a single provider streamlines procurement and ensures installation efficiency. A supplier versed in veterinary imaging can match specifications, support layout planning, and co-ordinate delivery and fitting.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When commissioning a new generator, address accessory needs upfront. This prevents delays and creates cohesive systems. Plan in conjunction with experts for appropriate shielding calculations and safe workflow design.

Vet Imaging FAQs

• Do all x-ray rooms need shielded doors?
  Generally yes, especially those with fixed units, depending on room layout and imaging workload.



• How often should gloves be tested?
  Visual checks before each use are essential. Integrity testing should follow radiation safety guidelines.

• Are physical markers still needed with digital x-rays?
  Yes, as on-screen editing does not replace identifying the anatomical side at the point of exposure.



• Can warning lights be added to existing rooms?
  Often, a qualified engineer is able to install them into the generator’s control system.

• Is buying from multiple suppliers cheaper?
  Not always, but incompatibility often outweighs initial savings.

Building an Efficient Radiography Room

Veterinary imaging relies on the generator alone. From lead-lined doors to warning systems, these accessories contribute to a regulated and effective workspace.

By partnering with experts, practices can achieve consistent results. Planning new installations should always include accessory integration for the best outcome.
