Unique Demands of Veterinary X-Ray Techniques

by | Aug 9, 2024 | Medical & Veterinary Equipment Blog

Our team at Georgian Anesthesia and Medical Corp. has been working in the medical equipment industry for many years, providing a wide range of equipment for doctors, dentists, and veterinarians. If you run a veterinary practice, then you can turn to our team to get the high-quality equipment you need. You can also depend on us to understand the unique challenges involved in veterinary care and to provide solutions to any issues you might have.

In this article, we will focus on some of the unique demands of veterinary x-ray techniques.

  • Patient Control – One challenge involved in administering a veterinary x-ray is keeping the patient still. If the patient moves around during the imaging process, the images will be blurry and therefore difficult to use for diagnostic purposes. Because animal patients can’t comply with verbal requests to keep still, you will most likely need to restrain or tranquilize the patient before you can capture the x-ray images.
  • Patient Size Range – Another unique demand of veterinary medicine is the wide range of patient sizes you will have to contend with. Veterinarians are called upon to treat animals ranging from tiny songbirds to huge livestock animals, such as horses and cows, so they need equipment capable of accommodating patients of all sizes. Our team can help you find x-ray tools to use on all your patients, regardless of size. Of course, you may require different equipment to use on smaller patients and larger ones, but we can help you find the best options for each.
