A dog is excited and panting before a radiography screening. Your team might consider giving the dog a light sedative because the dog's panting: 1. could fog the screen, making it difficult to see the results. 2. may annoy members of the veterinary team. 3. may move the animal's body and compromise the results. 4. could be loud and distracting to the radiographer.

3. If the dog is energetic during this process it can result with inaccurate results due to constant moving, therefore that’s why sedation would be needed.
