RADIOGRAPH REPOSITORY, Continued
Consignors will be held responsible for associating radiographs with the proper horse. If the horse name is changed on the radiographs knowingly or unknowingly, or if the images have been tampered with, the consignor is responsible for any charges incurred from a dispute. If a discrepancy is found after a buyer purchases a horse, they have twenty-four (24) hours to report it to Asteris and the Sale Co. During that time, the horse may not be moved from the premises for any reason other than a medical emergency. In an attempt to prevent “buyer’s remorse” the buyer must pay Asteris and/or the sales company an $800.00 deposit to investigate a disputed purchase. Asteris will send the radiographs to three equine veterinarians of their choice for review; the veterinarians will not be diagnosing, but only verifying that the radiographs in comparison are from different horses. If the veterinarians determine that the original radiographs are from the horse in question, the buyer must pay all fees associated with the challenge pro- cess. If it is found to be a different horse, the consignor will be held responsible for all charges including the $800.00 deposit and the commission fee to the sales company from the resulting lost sale. VETERINARIANS: Only Digital DICOM images will be accepted and only the 32 images as follows: BOTH FRONT FETLOCKS: DP, DLPMO, DMPLO, flexed lateral medial...................8 shots. BOTH CARPI: DLPMO, PLDMO (just off lateral), flexed lateral medial..............................6 shots. BOTHHINDFETLOCKS: DP, DLPMO, DMPLO, standing lateral medial................8 shots. BOTH HOCKS: just off DP 10 degrees (slight DLPMO), lateral medial, PLDMO.......6 shots. BOTH STIFLES: Lateral medial (getting the proximal tibia as well as the trochlear ridges of the femur and patella) and a plantar anterior as long as the condyles are visible.....4 shots. Please label the studies in this manner: Patient = Hip # as shown in the sale catalog (Horse name not required) Owner = Consignor as listed in the sale catalog. Accession # = Day the horse sells and hip #, i.e. Day 1 - #01
Neither Asteris nor the Sale Co will be screening images for positioning or tech- nique; this is the responsibility of the veterinarian at the time of acquisition.
