Digital radiography has become an extremely effective and essential diagnostic tool for veterinarians. It is painless, safe, non-invasive. It also quickly provides information about interior body parts and without the need for numerous retakes.
At Ross Bridge Animal Hospital, we use digital radiography to assess the status of injuries or diseases. This technology helps us determine how these conditions may be affecting your pet. The images produced through this digital technique help our veterinarian diagnose fractures and locate foreign objects. They also assist in detecting masses, such as tumors. It can also measure organ size to detect disease and diagnose pneumonia. Additionally, it helps discover pregnancies, bladder stones, chronic arthritis, and certain spinal cord diseases.
Because digital radiography uses such low doses of radiation, and the level of radiation exposure is so low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo radiography. Another advantage of digital radiography is that it provides images much faster and with greater clarity than traditional x-rays. We can manipulate, enhance, and contrast these digital images, which gives us the ability to diagnose a condition more accurately. Additionally, we can use telemedicine to share the digital images instantly with board-certified veterinary radiologists and specialists for consultation if required.
