Piedmont Equine Practice provides Diagnostic Services for horses in the surrounding counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock, Warren, Prince William, Loudoun, Frederick, Clarke, parts of Fairfax and Culpeper and some adjacent counties in Maryland and West Virginia.
Diagnostic Services
The Piedmont Equine Practice’s advanced diagnostic imaging modalities include:
- Nuclear Medicine – Bone scans are performed using a state-of-the-art digital gamma camera manufactured by MiE
- Digital Radiography
- Digital Ultrasonography
- Interpretation of diagnostic images by a board-certified radiologist is available within 24-hours
- Lameness Locator – a system that enables a veterinarian to objectively identify lameness in horses using small body-mounted wireless sensors and a computer. The system provides an analysis that indicates where the horse is lame, the severity of the lameness, the limb or limbs involved, and the part of the motion cycle at which peak pain is occurring (impact, mid-stance or push off). Data collection is non-invasive, quick and in real-time so veterinarians are free to perform their usual lameness evaluation routine.
