Digital Radiography

Digital Radiography

This technology provides us incredibly rapid and detailed radiographs (X-rays). These radiographs are available immediately, without the need to develop film. Computer work stations allow manipulation and magnification of the images to better evaluate each radiograph. Radiographs can be printed, copied to CD, or emailed to veterinarians, trainers, or clients. Digital radiography used during surgery allows us to perform orthopedic surgery utilizing minimally invasive techniques (surgery performed through small stab incisions and significantly less tissue damage, instead of large surgical incisions).
