Radiology is defined as the practice of obtaining radiographs and practice is what is required of a good radiology technician. It is an imaging foundation in equine practice and the power of today’s portable radiology generators makes it relatively inexpensive with the potential for high return. Imaging foals requires patience, planning, and a little ingenuity.
Portable generators are becoming more powerful (higher kVp) and this allows the technician to radiograph with more ease than the large overhead units. The portability makes the generator practical to use both in-house and in an

the foal is in the mares uterus. it can be seen on ultra sound. you do not x-ray a mare to check for pregnancy.

A foal.
No more than fillys or any other foal.
Yes, and occasionally mares will swap foals. A mare stealing a foal is often problematic since the mare may not be lactating.
I belive not! Unless they are an asexual.
A foal is usually only called a foal for a year. Then they are called yearlings.
Younger mares and mares with good uterine characteristics tend to foal earlier than older mares. With age the uterus tends to be compromised to a greater or lesser degree which slows the development of the foal and increases gestation.
for all mares, they are in foal about 11 months
the mares first lick the foal clean, then the foal will eventually try to stand up. during the first day, the mare and foal will bond.
