Hand-held X-ray for cattle teeth?

[rlosey]

Hello:
Could anyone recommend a hand-held (portable) X-ray machine capable for imaging an entire cattle molar or tooth of similar size? Most machines I see advertised have sensors that are too small for such uses. Thanks

Is this something you'll be doing routinely? I'm not sure what you're looking for really exists, it might but would be uncommon. Really if my regular xray unit that I use for lameness exams isn't going to cut it it's going up the road to referral. I mean I have my small animal dental rads but that's very different. Otherwise maybe reach out to your local cvm or dental specialist to see their recommendations

This would be for routine use for research purposes, at times on skeletonized remains. Thanks
