We replaced our x-ray machine and upgraded to digital xrays to decrease exposure and increase efficiency.
This is our new digital xray processor and viewer. With this new machine we can crop xrays, zoom in on specific areas, and label any abnormalities. We also now have the ability to burn the xrays on a compact disc for our clients to view at home.
This is what we call a "whole cat" radiograph. Most cats fit on our large x-ray plate so we can capture an abdomen (stomach and intestinal tract) view as well as a thorax (chest with the heart and lungs) view all in one shot. This is especially helpful in reducing stress on the cat since cats are typically less willing to cooperate for x-rays.
This is a thorax (chest with the heart and lungs) view all in one shot. Our new digital xray allows us to see even the tiniest of details on a radiograph.
Well that's all for our radiology area. If you thought this room was cool, you should see our surgery area.
