Radiographic evaluation is a core element of animal healthcare. While the radiography unit is central, a set of vet x-ray accessories helps ensure safety, efficiency, and legal alignment.

These accessories are far from optional; they constitute a well-considered safety environment for team members, animals, and individuals on site alike.

Vet X-Ray Doors

Shielded doors help to keep emissions confined within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where public zones are close, doors with the appropriate lead equivalency ensure protection. Compatibility with wall shielding and robust finishes should be prioritised.

Radiographic Markers

These compact identifiers label anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and enable accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Personalised markers add clarity, particularly in insurance claims. Choose markers that are legible and compatible with modern imaging formats.

Vet X-Ray Protective Gloves

Despite sedation protocols, manual support is sometimes necessary. Gloves with suitable radiation-shielding materials reduce radiation risk. Gloves should offer mobility, fit well, and meet UK safety standards. 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 prevents entry during exposures.

Why Use One Supplier?

Consolidating purchases reduces complexity and ensures installation efficiency. A supplier with domain knowledge can match specifications, help with room design, and co-ordinate delivery and fitting.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When investing in a new generator, address accessory needs upfront. This prevents delays and ensures smoother operation. Plan in conjunction with experts for appropriate shielding calculations and safe workflow design.

Vet Imaging FAQs

• Do all x-ray rooms need shielded doors?
  Most do, especially those with fixed units, depending 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 is able to install them into the generator’s control system.



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

Enhancing Veterinary Imaging Safety

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

By working with experienced suppliers, practices can achieve consistent results. Assessing existing imaging rooms should always cover support elements for the best outcome.
