Our Radiology Department has a high
powered 600 milliamp Digital X-ray generator that allows
us to take radiographs of even the largest dogs. Like a
digital camera, our system can produce incredibly detailed
images in a matter of seconds. The digital sensor is more
sensitive than film, so we can get images with less radiation
exposure to our staff and patients.

Taking
Radiographs |
 We
have a dental x-ray unit that is used to take dental radiographs
and fine detail films of exotic animals such as birds and pocket
pets. Like our standard x-rays, we use a digital sensor to
record the images of the teeth. This dramatically reduces the
amount of time it takes to get our images and gives us superior
images than our older film system.
Radiographs are great for looking at bone, lungs, size and
shape of organs and are the first choice in most imaging
scenarios. We also have a very powerful GE Logiq 500 pro
ultrasound which allows us to do very sophisticated ultrasound
examinations, including color flow doppler, 2 dimensional
echocardiography, M- mode echocardiography, pulse wave and
continuous wave doppler flow studies. Ultrasound allows us to
look into organs and check for abnormalities in the tissue. We
can also use it to guide our needles to obtain biopsies of vital
organs without the trauma of a surgical exploratory.
