About Digital X-Rays
Radiology (X-rays) is routinely used to provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate). It can be used alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools to provide a list of possible causes for a pet’s condition, identify the exact cause of a problem or rule out possible problems.
What To Know About Digital X-Rays
So, what exactly are digital x-rays? Simply put, they are electronic images of the inside of your pet's body. Instead of using traditional film, we use a digital sensor to capture the x-rays, which are then viewed on a computer screen. This process has many benefits for both the pet and the veterinarian.
Why Digital?
Digital x-rays produce images that are much clearer and more detailed than traditional film x-rays. This allows our veterinarians to make more accurate diagnoses and create more effective treatment plans. Digital x-rays also allow us to enhance certain areas of the image, making it easier to see any abnormalities or potential issues. Another major advantage of digital x-rays is the speed at which they can be taken and processed. With traditional film x-rays, much time and effort is needed to develop the images in a dark room. However, digital x-rays can be viewed almost instantly, which means your pet spends less time under anesthesia or in an uncomfortable position.
