Diagnostics
Using Advanced Technology To Better Treat Your Horse
Lebanon Equine Diagnostic Solutions
Horses cannot verbally communicate their discomfort or pinpoint the source of their pain. That means good diagnostics are everything. Our Lebanon equine diagnostic solution technicians gain valuable insights into your horse’s issues by employing digital imaging technologies. This enables us to identify and define the problem accurately, paving the way for a tailored treatment plan to restore the horse to health.
We’re available 24/7. Call the Lebanon Equine Clinic today at (513) 932-4181 for the help your horse needs.
The Benefits of Digital Imaging in Equine Treatment
Digital imaging, specifically radiography and ultrasound, has improved equine veterinary medicine.
There are so many benefits of these cutting-edge technologies, including the following:
- Improved Image Quality: Digital radiography and ultrasound produce high-resolution images that allow our veterinarians to visualize and analyze anatomical structures with greater detail and accuracy. This enhanced image quality aids in the early detection and diagnosis of various conditions, such as fractures, joint abnormalities, and soft tissue injuries.
- Timely Results: The development process can be time-consuming with traditional film-based radiography, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment. By contrast, digital imaging provides instant results, allowing veterinarians to assess the images immediately and make prompt clinical decisions. This expedites the diagnostic process, enabling faster initiation of treatment plans for injured or sick horses.
- Reduced Exposure: Digital imaging significantly reduces radiation exposure. Digital radiography systems require a lower dose of radiation than conventional methods to produce their images. This reduced radiation exposure minimizes potential health risks and enhances safety during the imaging process.
- Ease of Sharing: Digital images can be easily transferred, copied, and shared electronically. This allows for seamless collaboration between veterinarians, specialists, and clients, promoting comprehensive and interdisciplinary care for the horse. Veterinarians can remotely consult with colleagues or send images to referral centers, leading to more informed diagnoses and treatment plans.
With these and other advantages, digital imaging has become an important tool in equine veterinary medicine, enabling better horse care and outcomes.

Diagnosis, Treatment & Follow-Up
Once a condition has been diagnosed, digital images can be used to guide therapeutic interventions. For example, ultrasound-guided injections allow veterinarians to precisely deliver medications, such as corticosteroids or regenerative therapies, to the affected area. In the case of digital radiography, it can assist in the placement of orthopedic implants, such as screws or plates, during surgical procedures. Digital imaging enhances the safety and efficacy of these treatment interventions by providing real-time visualization and accurate targeting.
Monitoring progress is another critical aspect of equine treatment, and digital imaging facilitates this process. Regular follow-up imaging allows veterinarians to track the healing progress of fractures, monitor the response to treatment for soft tissue injuries, or assess the effectiveness of regenerative therapies.
By comparing current digital images with previous ones, veterinarians can evaluate changes over time, determine if further intervention is needed, or modify the treatment plan accordingly. This ensures that the horse receives appropriate care and enables veterinarians to make informed decisions about the ongoing management of the horse’s condition.
