Abstract
The present invention is a method of positioning a horse's foot for radiographic examination which includes attaching to the hoof of the lower limb to be X-rayed a radiolucent pad, and necessary height extension plates, all having the shape of the hoof's footprint in order to elevate the hoof to a level above the standing surface that will position the area of X-ray interest appropriately with the beam of the X-ray collimator. In addition, it is necessary to place a platform of the same or similar height as the pad and its height extensions beneath of the hoof of the opposite foot. The apparatus for attaching the pad to the horse's hoof preferably comprises a pair of overlapping elastic straps.
