Survey Radiographs


Scone Equine Hospital provides survey radiographs of yearlings for our clients. These radiographic studies are usually performed in July / August / September preceeding the major yearling sales from January of the following year.

Early detection of radiographic abnormalities (lesions), such as Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), bone chip fractures and subchondral bone cystic lesions, can allow surgical intervention,  medical treatment or management changes to be adopted to help treat or resolve these lesions. Recognition of lesions, that often are not clinically apparent and early treatment can be of major benefit to the patient and can have a huge impact at the yearling sale.

Radiographic “flexed lateral to medial view” of a normal fetlock. Accurate positioning greatly enhances the radiograph and facilitates identification of “lesions” (abnormalities) and eliminates artefacts that confuse interpretation or cause misinterpretation.
