Digital X-Rays, for A Better Look Inside Your Animal

Digital radiography represents a useful advancement in our tools to image our patients. Images can be visually enhanced, magnified, and digitally shared with specialists to help us create treatment plans for your pets. These modalities also allow us to immediately share results with clients in the exam room or email them to a referral clinic if needed. All digital images are kept on file and can be easily transferred or copied if necessary.

Rivertown Animal Hospital has digital radiology available for studies of the skeleton, body cavities, dental studies, and sinuses. Dental radiology is the gold standard for identifying tooth root changes (like abscesses) and alveolar bone loss. This allows us to identify teeth that are painful or require extraction and if identified early enough, the tooth can be saved with advanced endodontic techniques (example: root canal). Digital radiology allows quicker patient assessments and reduces waste (both chemical and film) produced through older technologies.
