Explain the reason for using a thin gauge wire during a lateral coffin (P3) radiograph
What will be an ideal response?
Wire is used to facilitate examination for P3 (coffin) rotation. In other words, the veterinarian is checking to see whether P3 has rotated relative to the hoof wall. The wire provides a radiodense approximation of the hoof wall and facilitates the comparison. This technique is typically used for evaluation of laminitic or foundered horses.
