PennHIP Training
Requirements
The PennHIP radiographic method requires training and practice to ensure proficiency and optimum quality control. The minimal recommended radiographic equipment required to perform the PennHIP technique is a 300 mA X-ray machine and an automatic film processor, however other equipment is acceptable so long as film quality is adequate. Digital radiography is also acceptable, however images must be in DICOM format in order to be evaluated.
The PennHIP technique is a medical diagnostic/screening procedure. Therefore, training seminars are offered only to veterinarians and qualified technical personnel. Technical personnel must be accompanied by a veterinarian in order to attend the course.
