X-ray machine for diagnostic imaging of pets

X-rays have been used for decades to create images called radiographs (black, white and gray images). Radiography is the most commonly used imaging procedure in veterinary practice. X-ray images (X-rays) are generated in the same way as those used in human medicine, except that the device is sized for use by dogs, cats and other small animals. Portable devices can be used in large animal clinics that treat horses and other large animals. While the procedure is painless, in some cases the pet is sedated to reduce the anxiety and stress associated with the procedure, locate the animal, and help the animal remain still while the image is taken. The images displayed by these portable devices are faster to use than other forms of radiography, which is especially useful when dealing with picky animals that move constantly.

The VET1600 Digital Portable Vet X-Ray Machine is ideal for creating images of bones, foreign bodies and large body cavities. They are commonly used to help detect fractures, tumors, injuries, infections and deformities. Although X-rays may not provide enough information to determine the exact cause of your pet's problems, they can help your veterinarian determine what other tests may be needed to make a diagnosis.

The location of the X-rays should be focused on the area to be examined. The device has low exposure to X-rays, reduces the risk of radiation damage to cells, and does not adversely affect the person taking the X-ray. The device specialises in X-ray technology used to help provide a more detailed picture of the body's organs. Since the soft tissues of the body do not absorb X-rays well, the animal is given a dye that blocks X-rays. This can be given intravenously to check organs such as the kidneys or heart, or through the mouth to check the digestive tract. A series of X-rays are taken after the dye is given, which will outline the organs where the dye accumulates. This makes it easier to spot any anomalies.

There are many advantages to storing radiographs on a computer. One of the most important is the ability to quickly and affordably transmit copies of images to specialists or other clinics, which makes it easy to study your pet's images and help your veterinarian accurately diagnose and treat your pet's condition.

It is important for veterinarians that medical practices have a digital X-ray system. The veterinary office needs to have the ability to acquire, archive, view, and distribute digital medical images to enhance the office workflow and be cost effective.
