Radiographic profiles
Additional profile according to the “Röntgenleitfaden”
During a pre-purchase examination of a horse, we do not just offer the standard radiographs according to the german standard profile, but of course we do additional radiographs if requested. Radiographs of the knee and the back are the radiographs which are most frequent demanded, but also different areas like the cerval spine could be of interest during a pre-purchase examination. Further possibilities are shown on the following pages.
1: Lateromedial projection (LM) of the stiffle joint, hind left
Lateromedial view of the Patella, including joint region of the femur and tibia.

2: Lateromedial projection of the stiffle joint, hind right

3: Caudocranial projection (Cd15°Pr-Cr Di) of the stiffle joint, hind left
AP view of the Patella, including joint region of the femur and tibia.
4: Caudocranial projection (Cd15°Pr-Cr Di) of the stiffle joint, hind right
