Digital Radiography

Well, we’ve been working in our new clinical work space (new surgery suite, new treatment area, new radiology room, new lab), for about two weeks now, and our new “state of the art” digital radiography equipment is finally up and running!  The new equipment allows us to obtain diagnostic images with less stress to our patients, decreased radiation exposure for both our patients and staff, no need for a darkroom and processor . . . and most importantly, the images are AMAZING!  Additionally, we no longer need to store old X-Rays, can copy the digital images onto a CD when needed, and can request a radiology review by a Board Certified Veterinary Radiologist just be sending the images electronically.  After using the new equipment and technology for just a couple of weeks, it’s hard to imagine how we got by with the old equipment for so long!
