Advanced Digital X-rays
Radiography (X-rays) is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate your pet’s internal structures, including organs, joints, and bones. This non-invasive imaging method is convenient, safe, and quick, often allowing the veterinary team to get answers about your pet’s condition while you wait.
The digital difference
Accuracy
Digital X-ray technology is the latest advancement in veterinary radiography, offering many advantages over traditional X-rays, including:
- Instant high-resolution images for rapid analysis and diagnosis
- Post-exposure editing to enhance details and spot problems more clearly
- Streamlined sharing for radiologist review
Safety
Digital radiography is safer for pets and veterinary personnel because it uses a more focused beam and more responsive sensors, requiring less radiation to capture high-quality images.
This means your pet is exposed to a lower dose of radiation and, in many cases, we can avoid taking repeat images because we can adjust image quality on the monitor. The result is a faster, safer process that minimizes stress and maximizes comfort.
Versatility
Digital X-rays may be recommended for various purposes in healthy and sick pets. Common reasons why your pet may need X-rays include:
- Limping
- Changes in breathing
- Coughing or gagging
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Injury or trauma
- Abnormal blood work
- Painful abdomen
- Health screenings for breeding dogs
- Pre-anesthetic screening
- Monitoring existing conditions
- Pregnancy check
- Suspected mass or tumor
- Neurologic signs
- Urinary problems
