Digital Radiology

Advanced Digital Radiology

When your pet is sick or injured, getting answers quickly is our top priority. Summit Veterinary Services utilizes state-of-the-art digital radiology (X-rays) to look beneath the surface and accurately diagnose internal issues. Digital imaging is the modern standard of care, replacing old film X-rays with high-resolution technology that is safer, faster and more precise.

The Advantages of Digital X-Rays

By choosing digital technology, we provide your pet with a safer and more comfortable diagnostic experience

• Speed & Accuracy: Images are available instantly, meaning less time on the X-ray table and faster answers for you.

• Reduction Radiation: Digital sensors are far more sensitive than films, requiring significantly less radiation to produce a clear image.

• Enhanced Detail: We can zoom in and adjust the contrast of digital images to spot tiny fractures or subtle abnormalities that might be missed in traditional films.

• Seamless Sharing: If your pet needs a specialist, we can electronically send high-quality files to board-certified radiologists in seconds.

• Eco-Friendly: Digital imaging eliminates the need for the harsh chemicals used to develop traditional films.

What We Can Visualize

Digital radiology is a versatile tool used to examine:

• Internal Organs: Evaluating the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys.

• Bone Heath: Detecting fractures, joint disease or arthritis.

• Foreign Objects: Identifying swallowed items or “obstructions”.

• Dental Heath: Visualizing the roots of the teeth below the gumline to identify hidden pain or infection.
