What is Digital Radiography?
Digital radiography is a modern imaging technique that uses advanced sensors to capture high-resolution images of your pet’s internal structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which require film, digital radiography allows us to instantly view and enhance images on a computer screen. This makes it faster, safer, and more precise, providing a clearer picture of your pet’s health.
How X-rays Help Diagnose Health Issues
Digital radiography is an incredibly versatile tool, commonly used to:
-
Identify Orthopedic Problems
Identify fractures, arthritis, and other skeletal abnormalities
-
Assess Internal Organs
Evaluate the size, shape, and position of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs
-
Detect Foreign Objects
Locate items your pet may have swallowed, such as bones, toys, or other non-digestible materials
-
Spot Tumors and Abnormal Growths
Identify masses in the chest, abdomen, or other areas of the body
-
Monitor Heart and Lung Conditions
Diagnose issues such as congestive heart failure or respiratory infections
-
Evaluate Dental Health
Examine below the gumline for abscesses, tooth-root issues, or bone loss
