Diagnostic imaging is a key feature of modern vet care. While the x-ray generator is central, a range of vet x-ray accessories supports safety, efficiency, and compliance alignment.

These components are more than optional; they build a well-considered safety environment for team members, animal patients, and visitors alike.

Shielded X-Ray Room Doors

Radiation-resistant doors play a role in contain scatter within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where reception areas are close, doors with the recommended lead equivalency ensure protection. Compatibility with wall shielding and durable finishes should be considered.

Orientation Markers

These compact identifiers indicate anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and assist in accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Clinic-branded markers ensure attribution, particularly in shared cases. Choose markers that are legible and compatible with modern imaging formats.

Vet X-Ray Protective Gloves

Even with restraint systems, staff involvement 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 alert x-ray systems are active. Correct positioning ensures visibility, often including signs such as “X-Ray in Use.” Integration with the generator’s exposure system avoids disruptions during exposures.

Advantages of a Single Source

Using a single provider simplifies planning and ensures component compatibility. A supplier versed in veterinary imaging can advise on shielding, support layout planning, and co-ordinate delivery and fitting.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When installing a new generator, include accessories in initial plans. This prevents delays and creates cohesive systems. Engage with specialists for appropriate shielding calculations and equipment placement.

Vet Imaging FAQs

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



• How often should gloves be tested?
  Routine assessments are essential. Formal testing should follow radiation safety guidelines.

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

• Can warning lights be added to existing rooms?
  Usually yes, a qualified engineer can retrofit them into the generator’s control system.



• Is buying from multiple suppliers cheaper?
  It may seem so, but rework often outweighs initial savings.

Creating a Safer Imaging Suite

Veterinary imaging is supported by more than the generator alone. From protective gloves to marker sets, these accessories support a safe and efficient workspace.

By choosing specialist providers, practices future-proof their setup. Assessing existing imaging rooms should always factor in every component for the best outcome.
