Classification of X-rays
Radiographs of the navicular bones, the proximal sesamoid bones, the fetlock joints and the tarsal joints were evaluated according to the “official evaluation scheme”, whereby radiographic findings are described and divided into four categories. Categories 1 and 2 are considered to be completely acceptable. Category 3 is considered to be acceptable if, and only if, the clinical findings justify it and sometimes carries an increased risk, depending on the x-ray. Category 4 is considered to be, at all times and without exception, unacceptable regardless of the clinical findings.

Osteochondric fragmentation
Part of the published x-ray report is dedicated to osteochondric fragmentation or OCD “chips” or “fragments”. The results of this particular investigation is made apparent by a Positive or Negative result: Negative meaning no fragmentation has been detected.
