Conclusion
High quality dental radiographs can be taken under field conditions when using portable equipment, time taken
to ensure correct positioning combined with the use of a factor chart and knowledge of the relevant anatomy
will aid in this outcome. Horses need adequate sedation and head support and clinicians will benefit from
understanding the use of a bisecting angles technique.
