Smoketown Veterinary Hospital is pleased to offer the
latest, state-of-the-art imaging technology – the RapidStudy™
digital radiology (DR) system – from Eklin Medical Systems, the
leader in digital radiology and image management.
 Just as digital cameras have
revolutionized photography, DR is changing the face of x-ray
technology. Now, in less than four seconds, we can take a
digital x-ray of our patient’s injury or area of concern without
waiting precious minutes to develop film. We know instantly
whether we have good view of the target area or if we need to
get another angle of it.
Additionally, like a digital photo, a
digital radiograph can be manipulated after it is taken. This
allows us to vary the contrast of the image, change the
resolution or magnify areas of concern. Because of this
advantage, we can see things on the digital image which a film
x-ray just wouldn’t allow us to before. We have actually
improved our abilities to diagnose due to this ability. We also
use the Eklin Digital Practice system which allows us to
integrate any other digital images, such as ultrasound,
with the DR images. This helps us evaluate the area of concern
more closely and bring additional technologies into our
diagnostic process.
Bottom line, these capabilities help
us to make a more rapid and confident diagnosis. This means we
can start treating the patient sooner. Quicker treatment
generally results in a faster and more positive outcome.
