DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING

• DIGITAL RADIOLOGY

  • ​Every 3H veterinarian is equipped with state of the art digital radiography systems. This means that your veterinarian can diagnose in the field quickly and safely, getting you and your horse the answers you need. Our high-quality x-ray equipment is able to produce images of exceptional quality identifying things that traditional radiographs would not detect.

• DIGITAL ULTRASOUND

  • Soft tissue injuries account for a large part of lameness seen in sport horses. With our digital ultrasound equipment, we can produce high resolution images of your horse’s tendons and ligaments to accurately diagnose a multitude of condition such as:

    • Suspensory ligament injuries

    • Bowed tendons

    • Collateral ligaments

    • Cartilage thickness in joint​

• THERMOGRAPHY

  • Do you want to pinpoint the pain?

  • Thermography detects heat pattern changes via a portable camera. It is especially useful for evaluating back and saddle related issues. NO rider wants to cause the problem to his partner, the equine, by choosing to ride in a poorly fitted saddle, so saddle evaluation is often recommended to complement what we find. Only a saddle with perfect fit can ensure optimal movement. A saddle without a good fit very often triggers painful pressure points, resulting in the heat detected.
