Veterinary machines have a limited capability to take dental radiographs,
due to the restricted movement of the X-ray head. They are often
not conveniently located in the practice for essential intra-operative
radiographs.
A general guide to exposure factors is 100mA for 0.1 seconds at
a kV of between 45 and 90, depending on the size of animal. The
film focal distance should be around 15cm.
