Using the Weight Bearing Tunnel for Lock-N-Secure DR Panel Protector
The tunnel turns a flat DR panel into a weight bearing platform. Drop your Lock-N-Secure panel protector with the panel inside into the tunnel, and the animal steps onto the top surface for a standing, weight bearing view of the foot, the fetlock, or the lower limb. The opening on the long side lets you slide the panel in and out without taking the whole setup apart, and the target area on top marks where to center the beam. The polycarbonate model carries up to 700 pounds for a 10 by 12 panel, and the carbon fiber model carries up to 2000 pounds for a 14 by 17 panel, so you can match it to the animal. The panel protector is sold separately, since most clinics already run one. For a thicker limb where scatter softens the image, the protector can hold an x-ray grid to keep the view clean.
