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

Such tools are more than optional; they build a planned 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 reception areas 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 small tools indicate anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and assist in accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Personalised markers add clarity, particularly in insurance claims. Choose markers that are legible and compatible with modern imaging formats.

Radiation Gloves for Vets

Though positioning tools exist, 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. Proper location 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 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.

Avoiding Retrofit Costs

When commissioning a new generator, include accessories in initial plans. This prevents delays and creates cohesive systems. Consult experienced suppliers for room layout guidance and safe workflow design.

Vet Imaging FAQs

• Do all x-ray rooms need shielded doors?
  Generally yes, especially those with fixed units, but specifics depend on room layout and imaging workload.



• How often should gloves be tested?
  Routine assessments are essential. Formal testing should follow UK standards.



• Are physical markers still needed with digital x-rays?
  Yes, as on-screen editing does not replace identifying the anatomical side at the point of exposure.

• Can warning lights be added to existing rooms?
  Often, 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 the cost of non-compliance often outweighs initial savings.

Building an Efficient Radiography Room

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

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