Radiographic evaluation is a vital part of veterinary medicine. While the imaging machine is the main component, a range of vet x-ray accessories supports safety, efficiency, and legal alignment.

These accessories are far from optional; they build a planned safety environment for veterinary staff, patients, and visitors alike.

Shielded X-Ray Room Doors

Shielded doors help to keep emissions confined within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where public zones are close, doors with the recommended lead equivalency maintain safety. Compatibility with wall shielding and clinical-grade finishes should be evaluated.

Orientation Markers

These compact identifiers label anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and enable accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Clinic-branded markers ensure attribution, particularly in shared cases. Choose markers that are resistant to wear and compatible with both film and digital systems.

Radiation Gloves for Vets

Even with restraint systems, manual support is sometimes necessary. Gloves with lead or lead-equivalent materials reduce radiation risk. Gloves should offer mobility, be comfortable, and comply with regulatory criteria. Frequent inspection is advised to detect cracks or degradation.

Vet X-Ray Warning Lights

Mounted outside imaging rooms, these entry alerts 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 activation system prevents entry during exposures.

Benefits of One-Stop Procurement

Using a single provider streamlines procurement and ensures component compatibility. A supplier specialised in the field can provide compliant options, help with room design, and co-ordinate delivery and fitting.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When installing a new generator, include accessories in initial plans. This saves money and ensures smoother operation. Plan in conjunction with experts for room layout guidance and safe workflow design.

Vet Imaging FAQs

• Do all x-ray rooms need shielded doors?
  Most do, especially those with fixed units, though this varies with room layout and imaging workload.



• How often should gloves be tested?
  Daily inspections are essential. Integrity testing should follow radiation safety guidelines.

• Are physical markers still needed with digital x-rays?
  Absolutely, as digital annotation does not eliminate the need for 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?
  At times yes, but not reliably, but incompatibility often outweighs initial savings.

Building an Efficient Radiography Room

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

By partnering with experts, practices avoid regulatory pitfalls. Planning new installations should always include accessory integration for the best outcome.
