Although a radiographic unit is not standard equipment for bovine practitioners in hospital or field situations, ultrasound machines with 7.5-MHz linear transducers have been used in bovine reproduction for many years, and are eminently suitable for evaluation of orthopedic disorders. The goal of this article is to encourage veterinarians to use radiology and ultrasonography for the evaluation of bovine orthopedic disorders. These diagnostic imaging techniques improve the likelihood of a definitive diagnosis in every bovine patient but especially in highly valuable cattle, whose owners demand increasingly more diagnostic and surgical interventions that require high-level specialized techniques.
虽然在医院或现场情况下，射线照相设备并不是牛科动物从业者的标准设备，但具有 7.5MHz 线性换能器的超声机已在牛科动物繁殖中使用多年，并且非常适合评估骨科疾病。本文的目的是鼓励兽医使用放射学和超声检查来评估牛科动物的骨科疾病。这些诊断成像技术可提高每头牛科动物确诊的可能性，但在高价值牛科动物中更为重要，其所有者越来越多地要求进行诊断和手术干预，这些干预需要高水平的专业技术。
