Pet Digital Radiology

Digital x-rays assist in diagnosing illness & injury.

Digital x-rays are a safe, non-invasive method to evaluate almost any organ in the body, including the heart, lungs, abdomen, and even bones.  Digital x-rays can be used to diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, certain spinal cord diseases, and a variety of other conditions.  The patient rarely needs sedation but may depending on the number of pictures required.

There are multiple benefits to choosing digital x-ray over conventional x-ray including:

• Images are more accurate and quicker to obtain
• Retakes are seldom required which limits radiation exposure
• Imaging results can be sent to other veterinarians and radiologists with ease
• Records can be stored electronically, so they won’t get damaged or lost

Using digital x-rays lets us provide our patients with superior care and supports our goal of practicing progressive, high quality medicine.
