Radiographs (x-rays) are useful in evaluating a number of areas of your pet's body including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems. With our new state-of-the-art of digital radiography unit, our hospital is able to take high-quality, digital x-rays of your pet. This advancement in technology allows us to become filmless with improved contrast resolution, image enhancement ability, and reduction of retakes compared to film-screen systems. In addition, the diagnostic quality of digital images is superior to traditional radiographs.
Incorporating a digital system offers numerous advantages for our patients, for our clients, for our employees, and for the environment. By bypassing the laborious chemical processing involved in traditional photographic films, images are available quickly and cleanly. The time spent taking your pets' radiographs is significantly shortened and fewer pictures need to be taken to achieve diagnostic-quality results. This means less stress for your pet, making their experience much more pleasant. Due to their digital format, radiographs can be e-mailed to a veterinary radiology specialist, making consults much easier and faster than by sending them by regular mail.
Finally, digital radiography produces little to no waste since processing chemicals and hard copies are not used, meaning that digital is more environmentally friendly than photographic film.
We have the highest performing digital radiograph system available to veterinarians to perform digital radiography. This allows our technicians and doctors to rapidly perform high quality images to diagnose quickly and as accurate as possible. In the case that a second opinion is necessary the images can be sent for a evaluation and receive a consult from a board certified radiologist usually within 24 hours or sooner if needed.
