Why radiographs, and why does digital make a difference?
Why take a radiograph?
Radiographs allow us to see what is going on inside the patient. Radiographs use x-rays to highlight bone and other densities of tissues. By using this technology, we can improve diagnosis and treatments in our patients. Animals are unique in the sense they are not able to share the "whole" story with us when they are not feeling well. When a physical is not enough, radiographs are very helpful in assisting with a diagnosis.
What can my pet expect during a radiograph?
Depending on what we are imaging, your pet may have to lay on its side or their back on a padded surface. Your pet just needs to hold still for just a few seconds during the exposure process. Majority of animals do great and do not need any additional medications to help with the service. However, for orthopedic or other specific radiographs the patient may need sedation to reduce your pet's stress in order to get particular views.
Why does digital matter?
Having the capability of digital radiographs have made the radiology process quicker and more efficient. Digital radiographs can be imaged almost as fast as we take them. They also can be adjusted to evaluate them on multiple different planes.
