Digital Radiology

Greenock Farm 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 endoscopy or 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 your horse sooner. Quicker treatment generally results in a faster and more positive outcome.

At Greenock Farm, we are committed to providing you with the best technology available on the market. We deeply believe DR will significantly enhance the healthcare we provide your horse. We think you will agree that your horse deserves the best clinical care and technology available. Our mission is to provide both for you and your horse.
