Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about portable equine X-ray systems, wireless detectors, or imaging horses in the field? We’ve answered the most common questions equine veterinarians ask when investing in new diagnostic equipment. Discover how Nuon Imaging supports your practice with reliable

Can a horse X-ray be performed on the farm or at the stable?

Yes. Our portable generators and wireless detectors are built for ambulatory work, so you can do a horse X-ray in the barn, at a show or at a pre-purchase exam without moving the patient to a clinic. You get diagnostic images on site and can share findings with owners and trainers right away.

What are equine X-rays most commonly used for?

An equine X-ray is the go-to tool for assessing lameness, including the hoof, fetlock, hock, knee and stifle. It is also used for pre-purchase exams, fractures, joint disease, navicular changes and dental or sinus problems. Digital radiography helps you spot subtle changes early and track healing over time.

Why choose a wireless flat panel detector for horse X-ray?

Without a cable, positioning the detector around a standing horse is faster and safer for both the patient and your team. You don’t trip over cords, and you can capture several views in less time. That matters when you work with nervous or sedated horses.

What is the benefit of a battery-powered portable X-ray generator?

A battery-powered generator such as the VET-20BT gives you flexibility where power outlets are limited or unreliable, like a paddock, an arena or a remote farm. You can run a full equine X-ray session without hunting for an outlet or extension cords.

Which detector size is best for equine imaging?

That depends on the anatomy you image most. Smaller detectors such as the 1012WCC and the flexible Luna 1012X suit distal limbs and tight positioning, like hooves and fetlocks. Larger panels such as the 1417WCE-HS and 1717SCV cover more area for the upper limbs, neck and back. Our team can help you choose the right combination for your caseload.

Can equine X-ray images be stored and shared with clients or specialists?

Yes. Nuon offers Skyline PACS for veterinary imaging, so you can store, view and share studies securely. That makes it easy to send horse X-ray images to referral surgeons, insurers or buyers during a pre-purchase exam.
