Affordable Veterinary X-Ray Options

Veterinary hospitals and clinics have to be prepared for

a wide variety of patients with a diversity of medical

needs. Because of this, vets need flexible options for

equipment used in diagnosis and treatment of animal

medical issues, and this is the case with veterinary x-

ray equipment. Many veterinary clinics are switching to

veterinary digital x-ray for its superior quality digital

images that bring a cost-effective choice to the full

range of x-ray options available today.

Digital imaging systems are chosen by veterinarians for

several important reasons. First is the speed with which

digital medical images can be taken and processed when

compared to the same tasks performed with film x-rays.

Another is that by digitizing medical images to the dicom

format, it allows them to be archived and transmitted

over the Internet, taking what was once a time-laden

chore and turning it into something that now takes only

seconds.

Finally, perhaps the best reason to use a digital imaging

system is that, as with all computer technology costs,

the prices for these items has dropped dramatically in

recent years. Now more than ever even smaller veterinary

clinics that were once price out of the digital imaging

market can afford to convert their existing film

equipment to digital imaging systems, and can also find

well-maintained used equipment as well to fill out their

imaging suite.

Doctors may select from Veterinary CR and Veterinary DR

digital imagers. While CR systems offer the most

affordable option for digital x-rays of excellent

quality, DR systems provides the highest resolution

digital images currently available at a higher initial

purchase cost for equipment. One factor that helps

veterinarians move to digital x-rays is that both of

these digital imagers can be transported and used in a

mobile veterinary van or truck. In many instances, a

veterinarian's patients may not be able to come to a

clinic for x-rays, but with a mobile x-ray system you can

get the digital images you need out in the field, and

with a laptop computer with wireless connection you can

send those digital images back to your home office for

further diagnosis and study, as well as storage.

Veterinary digital x-ray units are most functional when

teamed with Veterinary PACS systems. The PACS allows you

to view, distribute and store your digital medical images

quickly and efficiently, saving time and money in the

day-to-day operation of your veterinary hospital or

clinic.

A complete range of veterinary x-ray equipment is

available for your perusal from online medical imaging

distributors and systems integrators.
