RADIOGRAPH PRINCIPALS
Portable machine most commonly used
FFD 20-30 cm
(aka source-image distance (SID))
Cassette Marker-Cranial or lateral to limb
Animal Positioning: Feet square
Weight evenly distributed
![Page 4: Front & Hind Limb Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554af08cb4c905fc0e8b45e1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Radiographic Aids
Wooden Block: Allows cassette to extend below
hoof
Cassette Tunnel: Allows animal to stand on
cassette
Navicular Box:
Supports foot for easier
navicular films
Cassette Holder: Tunnel with long handle
Allows holder to be away from animal &
primary beam
