Vet Imaging Machine: Principle and Role of DR Digital X-Ray

When taking your pet to the hospital, doctors often recommend having your pet undergo DR, CT, MRI, and ultrasound ...... However, many pet owners do not understand the role of these imaging instruments. And imaging programs are all high cost. The lack of information between pet owners and doctors can easily lead to mistrust of doctors by pet owners, exacerbating the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship and ultimately causing disease in pets.

The following is a brief introduction to the four commonly used imaging equipment, DR, ultrasound, CT, MRI, I hope it will help the pet owners with their doubts.

The first time I saw the film, I was able to see the image of the structure on the fluorescent screen or film after penetrating the animal body. The X-ray examination can only provide two-dimensional flat images, and the imaging is easily affected by thick hair and overly thick soft tissues, so it is generally used as a preliminary examination.

X-rays have slight radiation, but according to scientific research, the amount of radiation received from one X-ray is well within the safe value. Just for insurance purposes, it is not recommended that pregnant women and parents preparing for pregnancy enter the DR room when their pets are being X-rayed to avoid harming the fetus. Those who assist in bonding are required to wear special protective clothing to protect the vital organs of the body from radiation.

For cats undergoing DR examination for the purpose of checking the number of fetuses, the amount of radiation exposure is also within the safe value.

Compared to several other imaging devices, the results of DR are relatively easy to take. Even without basic medical knowledge you can see the approximate shape of the bones from the film.
