Radiographic evaluation is a core element of veterinary medicine. While the radiography unit forms the foundation, a range of vet x-ray accessories helps ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance alignment.

These accessories are more than optional; they constitute a planned safety environment for clinicians, animals, and visitors alike.

Vet X-Ray Doors

Radiation-resistant doors help to prevent radiation escape within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where consultation rooms are close, doors with the correct lead equivalency ensure protection. Compatibility with wall shielding and clinical-grade finishes should be considered.

Vet X-Ray Markers

These compact identifiers mark anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and assist in accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Personalised markers ensure attribution, particularly in referrals. Choose markers that are legible and compatible with both film and digital systems.

Vet X-Ray Protective Gloves

Though positioning tools exist, staff involvement is sometimes necessary. Gloves with lead or lead-equivalent materials guard against scatter. Gloves should offer mobility, be comfortable, and meet UK safety standards. Periodic testing is required to detect cracks or degradation.

X-Ray Exposure Indicators

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

Benefits of One-Stop Procurement

Using a single provider reduces complexity and ensures installation efficiency. A supplier specialised in the field can match specifications, support layout planning, and manage installation timelines.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When installing a new generator, avoid overlooking auxiliary equipment. 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?
  They are, as on-screen editing 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?
  It may seem so, but the cost of non-compliance often outweighs initial savings.

Creating a Safer Imaging Suite

Veterinary imaging requires more than just the generator alone. From protective gloves to marker sets, these accessories ensure a compliant and effective workspace.

By choosing specialist providers, practices avoid regulatory pitfalls. Planning new installations should always factor in every component for the best outcome.
