Diagnostic imaging is a core element of modern vet care. While the x-ray generator is the main component, a set of vet x-ray accessories helps ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance alignment.

Such tools are not merely optional; they constitute a planned safety environment for clinicians, animal patients, and others present alike.

Vet X-Ray Doors

Radiation-resistant doors help to prevent radiation escape within imaging rooms. Especially in clinics where reception areas are adjacent, doors with the appropriate lead equivalency maintain safety. Compatibility with wall shielding and durable finishes should be prioritised.

Vet X-Ray Markers

These compact identifiers label anatomical orientation—typically "L" and "R"—and support accurate interpretation and professional documentation. Custom markers add clarity, particularly in shared cases. Choose markers that are resistant to wear and compatible with both film and digital systems.

Protective Veterinary Mitts

Though positioning tools exist, staff involvement is sometimes necessary. Gloves with lead or lead-equivalent materials guard against scatter. Gloves should offer flexibility, fit well, and comply with regulatory criteria. Frequent inspection is advised to detect cracks or degradation.

X-Ray Exposure Indicators

Mounted outside imaging rooms, these external lights 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 avoids disruptions during exposures.

Why Use One Supplier?

Consolidating purchases streamlines procurement and ensures component compatibility. A supplier with domain knowledge can match specifications, support layout planning, and manage installation timelines.

Future-Proofing Your Setup

When installing a new generator, avoid overlooking auxiliary equipment. This prevents delays and creates cohesive systems. Consult experienced suppliers for room layout guidance and equipment placement.

Common Queries

• Do all x-ray rooms need shielded doors?
  In most cases, especially those with fixed units, but specifics depend on 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 on-screen editing does not supersede 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 incompatibility often outweighs initial savings.

Creating a Safer Imaging Suite

Veterinary imaging requires more than just the generator alone. From lead-lined doors to warning systems, these accessories support a safe and functional workspace.

By partnering with experts, practices can achieve consistent results. Reviewing current equipment should always cover support elements for the best outcome.
