What is digital radiography, and how is it used for cats?

Digital radiography uses x-rays to capture detailed images of your cat’s internal structures, aiding in diagnosing conditions like fractures or illnesses.

Is digital radiography safe for my cat?

Yes, digital radiography is a safe procedure that uses low doses of radiation to obtain high-quality images with minimal risk.

How long does it take to get results from digital x-rays?

Digital radiography provides near-instant images, allowing your vet to review the results promptly during the same visit.

Will my cat need sedation for digital x-rays?

Depending on your cat’s temperament and the area being examined, sedation may be required to keep them still during the procedure.

Can digital radiography detect all health problems?

While x-rays are highly effective for examining bones and some soft tissues, other diagnostic tools like ultrasounds may be needed for more detailed imaging.
