Digital Radiography is a technology quickly gaining popularity in the veterinary market. Making radiographs with digital x-ray systems exposes special plates which transfer the radiographic image into the computer as digital images. This technology has significant capital expense, but allows for dramatic time and effort savings over traditional film-based radiography. These images can then be manipulated with viewing software to assist diagnosis.

The true advantage of digital images is that they can be easily sent via the internet to a Board Certified Veterinary Radiologist for review. Central Vet Imaging gladly accepts and reviews digital veterinary images.

Currently, there are many companies producing digital radiography systems. They use differing technologies and all have advantages and disadvantages. If your clinic is interested in this innovative new technology, Central Vet Imaging can help. Please feel free to contact Dr. Jones for assistance with this significant purchase.
