Hands-free radiographic canine hip distraction view with applied force monitoring
The PosUTAD Mod allows a reliable alternative technique to obtain the hip DV and avoids exposure of personnel to ionizing radiation. However, using the PosUTAD Mod device requires more specialized human resources, as the experience of an assistant to fix the PosUTAD Mod under adequate force is necessary for the success of the technique. It should also be added that it is a slightly more time-consuming technique, so it will only be an option when veterinary professionals' exposure to ionizing radiation is not allowed or is valued.
