DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

At Atlantic Animal Hospital, we are constantly striving to better serve our patients. Using new technology is one way in which we are improving our knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat your companion animal. X-Rays are helpful in diagnosing our patients, as they allow us to view the inside of a patient non-invasively. Digital Radiography system performs digital capturing and imaging processing without handling cassettes, film, or toxic chemicals. Digital imaging gives you a high quality image for diagnostic purposes with ONE EXPOSURE ONLY, minimizing radiation exposure to your companion animal. We are able to obtain expert advice from board certified specialists over the internet. We email our digital x-ray images to a board certified radiologists in California or cardiologists in Gainesville, Florida for consultation with case information and receive feedback immediately. Our experienced and compassionate team carefully handles your companion animal during radiology procedures. Finally, we will put the digital films and viewer program on a CD for you to take home or to the specialist.
