State-Of-The-Art Digital X-Rays & Veterinary Diagnostics
Effective health care starts with an accurate diagnosis. That’s why ZimmVet offers a comprehensive set of advanced diagnostic tools for our valued patients. Through our digital x-ray technology and in-house laboratory, we are able to obtain detailed patient assessments quickly and conveniently.
Digital x-rays are a non-invasive method of viewing the inner workings of your pet’s bodily systems. X-ray technology has come a long way since the days of having to wait for film to develop. With our digital x-ray machine, health conditions such as masses, tumors, potential obstructions, arthritis, pet pregnancies, and more can be detected with enhanced reliability and precision. Digital technology allows for easy transfer of x-rays to other veterinary specialists and organizations such as Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for hip and elbow certifications.
The Advantages of Digital X-rays
- Faster and more convenient than traditional x-ray film method
- Sharper images result in more accurate diagnosis
- Real-time image viewing cuts down on retakes
- Less radiation exposure to your pet
- Images can be archived, copied, or transferred electronically
