Faculty of Veterinary Science’s Academic Hospital obtains new digital X-ray machine

Abstract

Every year, hundreds of horses and a large number of production animals are X-rayed at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital (OVAH). After much discussion and planning, a sophisticated Magnum 80 high frequency digital X-ray machine was installed by AXIM at the end of July 2009. On 30 September a small, informal lunchtime get-together was held in the large-animal x-ray facility to celebrate the successful commissioning and operation of the new machine.
