| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| safety | personnel 1st and patient 2nd |
| safety | always be aware of surrounding |
| safety | do not compromise safety |
| machine types | portable |
| machine types | ceiling mounted |
| machine types | digital and flat films |
| restraint | sedation is usually safest |
| other methods restraint | twitch, chain over nose, knock on head, pick up a leg |
| positioning goals | always obtain two views |
| positioning goals | horse standing squarely, weight evenly distributed |
| positioning goals | well- defined joint spaces |
| positioning goals | no motion |
| cassette positioning | stand in safest place |
| cassette positioning | never stand directly behind horse |
| cassette positioning | move slowly, do not startle horse |
| cassette positioning | always use cassette holder, never hold cassette with hands. |
| cassette positioning | always wear lead |
| labeling | appropriate markers visible in film emulsion |
| labeling | correct markers for obliques |
| labeling | lateromedial/ mediolateral views ( marker on cranial aspect of the limb) |
| labeling | dorsopalmar/ dorsoplantar views ( marker on lateral aspect of limb) |
| labeling | oblique views ( marker on lateral aspect of limb) |
| hoof projections | distal phalangeal |
| hoof preparation | five P's Pull shoes Pick hoof Para Hoof Pack sole Place on wooden blocks |
| hoof projections | 4 common views |
| 4 views of hoof | lateromedial, dorsopalmar, dorsoplantar, 60degree DP, caudal tangential (navicular skylines) |
| used evalute of the hoof | distal phalanx rotation- displacement, navicular disease, osteophytes |
| lateromedial | center beam on coronary band |
| lateromedial | include entire toe and heel bulbs |
