Introducing Digital Radiography!
All of us at Jane Animal Hospital are excited to introduce digital radiography to our list of services available to all our patients. Digital radiography is a form of x-ray imaging, where digital x-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Digital radiography provides us with much more detail and information. Compare the 2 dog images below. The image on the left was made with a traditional x-ray technique. The image on the right was taken at with digital radiography. What a difference!!
