The relatively recent introduction of digital radiography has further advanced this diagnostic tool. Digital radiography has the advantages over conventional film radiographs in that it uses approximately 1/3 of x-radiation to create the image, the ability to enlarge the image to see small changes, increase or decrease contrast to help small lesions show up better, archival of images on a hard drive or back-up disc, easy retrieval, and the ability to print the images for client education. Usually a radiograph of an area can be “developed” within 5-7 seconds, where film radiographs take generally one minute each. Digital radiographs have the added advantage of being easily e-mailed if needed for referral or communication with referring veterinarians.
