Digital Radiography

Digital Radiography

Many new innovations and technology have recently been purchased by the doctors at Lewis Animal Hospital for the benefit of your pet. Digital radiographs are one of the more important changes, and our hospitals are excited to offer this advanced form of x-ray system for your dog or cat. Our new system eliminates film developing time, meaning one of our caring doctors can examine an x-ray image of your pet in a matter of seconds. Another key advantage to digital radiography is that images can be emailed to board-certified radiologists if needed. This means if your pet has a serious injury or a complicated issue requiring additional consultation, our doctors can review the images within minutes with specialists, so treatment can begin for your pet immediately. Digital x-ray technology also eliminates most re-takes, usually needed when a pet moves on the table. The digital imaging at Lewis Animal Hospital is so incredibly clear that re-takes are not often needed, even if your pet moves during the procedure. Less exposure to x-ray technology also means your pet is minimally exposed to any radiation. Finally, our digital x-ray system keeps our clinic green as there are no chemicals associated with the radiology system at Lewis Animal Hospital.
