Diagnostic imaging is a key feature of animal healthcare. While the radiography unit is central, a set of vet x-ray accessories helps ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory alignment.

Such tools are more than optional; they form a comprehensive safety environment for clinicians, animal patients, and individuals on site alike.

Vet X-Ray Doors

Lead-lined doors play a role in prevent radiation escape within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where consultation rooms are adjacent, doors with the appropriate lead equivalency ensure protection. Compatibility with wall shielding and robust finishes should be prioritised.

Vet X-Ray Markers

These compact identifiers label anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and enable accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Personalised markers add clarity, 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, staff involvement is sometimes necessary. Gloves with suitable radiation-shielding materials minimise exposure. Gloves should offer mobility, fit well, and comply with regulatory criteria. Periodic testing is required to detect cracks or degradation.

Vet X-Ray Warning Lights

Mounted outside imaging rooms, these visual signals 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 exposure system prevents entry during exposures.

Benefits of One-Stop Procurement

Using a single provider streamlines procurement and ensures component compatibility. A supplier with domain knowledge can advise on shielding, help with room design, and manage installation timelines.

Avoiding Retrofit Costs

When installing a new generator, avoid overlooking auxiliary equipment. This prevents delays and ensures smoother operation. Engage with specialists for room layout guidance and safe workflow design.

Common Queries

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



• How often should gloves be tested?
  Visual checks before each use 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 eliminate the need for identifying the anatomical side at the point of exposure.



• Can warning lights be added to existing rooms?
  In most scenarios, a qualified engineer can retrofit 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.

Enhancing Veterinary Imaging Safety

Veterinary imaging relies on the generator alone. From protective gloves to marker sets, these accessories ensure a regulated and functional workspace.

By partnering with experts, practices future-proof their setup. Planning new installations should always include accessory integration for the best outcome.
