Veterinary radiography is a core element of animal healthcare. While the radiography unit is central, a range of vet x-ray accessories supports safety, efficiency, and compliance alignment.

These accessories are not merely optional; they form a comprehensive safety environment for clinicians, patients, and visitors alike.

Shielded X-Ray Room Doors

Radiation-resistant 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 offer safeguarding. Compatibility with wall shielding and durable finishes should be evaluated.

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 insurance claims. Choose markers that are legible and compatible with modern imaging formats.

Vet X-Ray Protective Gloves

Despite sedation protocols, direct handling is sometimes necessary. Gloves with certified barrier materials guard against scatter. Gloves should offer flexibility, fit well, and comply with regulatory criteria. Frequent inspection 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 activation system supports safety protocol during exposures.

Advantages of a Single Source

Sourcing all accessories reduces complexity and ensures installation efficiency. A supplier versed in veterinary imaging can advise on shielding, help with room design, and co-ordinate delivery and fitting.

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?
  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.

Creating a Safer Imaging Suite

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

By partnering with experts, practices future-proof their setup. Planning new installations should always factor in every component for the best outcome.
