What is Pet Digital Radiography?
Pet digital radiography, also known as digital X-rays, is a non-invasive imaging technique used to capture detailed images of your pet’s internal structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital radiography produces high-quality images that can be manipulated and enhanced for a more accurate diagnosis. This technology allows our veterinarians to visualize bones, organs, and soft tissues with exceptional clarity, leading to better treatment outcomes.
At Northview Animal Hospital, we understand the importance of accurate and detailed imaging for your pet’s health. Our pet digital radiography services utilize advanced technology to provide clear and precise images, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. From routine check-ups to identifying underlying health issues, our digital radiography services play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of your furry companion.
