Digital Radiology
Digital radiography is rapidly replacing film x-rays, which have been used since 1895. Alamo Feline’s system is the advanced DR system and was purchased in 2002, well ahead of most veterinary practices in the US. Digital radiographs have a significantly higher resolution and permit much faster processing (seconds) so the images can be seen very quickly. In addition, digital radiographs can be emailed when needed.
Digital radiography creates images with much higher resolution and much faster processing than conventional film x-rays. Because the images are digital files, they can be emailed. This x-ray is of a cat’s skull. Note how much enlargement is possible so tiny abnormalities can be seen.
