It provides a large amount of information to the veterinarian by noninvasive and economical means. It does not alter the disease process or cause unacceptable discomfort to the animal. Although radiography is painless, sedation is often desirable in order to reduce anxiety and stress associated with the procedure. Radiography uses specific types of electromagnetic radiation to create an image. The most common type of radiography is an x-ray. The shadowy image of an x-ray is created when certain organs and bones, which are relatively dense, absorb x-rays more readily than other body parts. When exposed to the x-rays, the denser tissues or bones show up as white, while the less dense areas are black. The x-ray is perhaps one of the first tests a veterinarian will administer for a sick or injured animal in order to assess and diagnose its condition Copyright © 2011 | This site is created and managed by Ajay Saini ADDRESS & HOURS Ph.
