Many of you have already seen Dr. Gnadt’s latest diagnostic tool—the portable digital radiography unit. It has been in the truck for a short time and many patients have benefited from its use during farm calls.
This state-of-the-art digital radiography unit allows crisp diagnostic images to be taken at any farm or stable. Its compact design and quick setup make it easy to use, even when x-rays were not originally planned. Images are uploaded to a computer for immediate review, so Dr. Gnadt can recommend the best treatment for your horse at the same visit.
Having a mobile digital radiography unit on the farm supports better diagnostic and supportive care. Images can help identify tooth or bone fractures, causes of lameness or neurological concerns, and signs of arthritis. They can also be shared with your farrier or with specialist veterinarians if your horse needs referral to a hospital. If you think your horse would benefit from x-rays, please ask.
