High quality equipment, skilled technicians and experienced veterinarians ensure that the x-rays taken of pets give us the most information possible. There are instances where x-ray is not the best imaging technique to use, we are very lucky at Valley Farm to have a CT scanner for these cases, very often soft tissue, neurological cases.
Many x-rays are taken in emergency situations after a trauma such as a pet being hit by a car or after a dog fight. In these instances, it can be contra indicated to give sedation or an anaesthetic so a digital DR system that we have allows us to get high quality images and we are able to optimise the exposure digital should we need to.
Digital x-rays can be stored and emailed easily.
