What is a Veterinary X-Ray System?
A veterinary X-ray system is a digital radiography solution for small animal and equine practices. It delivers precise images for fast and accurate diagnosis, streamlines clinical workflows, and ensures high-quality care in modern veterinary medicine.
Types of Veterinary Imaging Systems
Computed Radiography (CR) offers a flexible bridge from traditional X-ray to fully digital imaging. CR systems capture images from standard X-ray cassettes and deliver excellent quality for a variety of veterinary applications. They are ideal for clinics upgrading from analog systems while maintaining smooth integration with digital record systems.
Our mobile and portable X-ray systems bring diagnostic imaging directly to your patients. Designed for fieldwork, large animals, or clinics with space constraints, these lightweight, durable systems provide professional-quality images wherever you need them.
Dental X-ray systems are essential for small animal oral care. With high-resolution imaging of teeth, jaws, and oral structures, veterinarians can plan treatments, monitor progress, and document results efficiently. All dental images are fully compatible with PACS for seamless record-keeping.
Ultrasound systems support real-time imaging for soft tissue, cardiac, and abdominal diagnostics. Both mobile and stationary solutions are available, offering intuitive controls, high-resolution images, and flexible probes suitable for pets, farm animals, and exotic species.
Integrated veterinary imaging software (PACS)
dicomPACS®vet is the central hub for veterinary imaging, connecting X-ray, DR, CR, ultrasound, and CT systems. This veterinary PACS software stores all images and documents digitally, enabling fast access, streamlined workflow, and secure archiving. Modular, customizable, and AI-supported, it helps veterinary practices manage imaging efficiently while keeping patient records paperless.
How to choose the right radiography X-ray system
Selecting the right veterinary X-ray system depends on your practice type, mobility needs, budget, and clinical use cases.
Small Animal Practices: Stationary X-ray tables, dental X-ray systems, and mobile ultrasound units are ideal. Systems with fast image acquisition and intuitive workflow are essential for high patient throughput.
Equine Practices: Portable DR systems like the Leonardo DR or mobile X-ray generators such as Amadeo P provide flexibility on the field. Dental systems work for both small and large animals.
Mobility Needs: Choose mobile or portable systems if you perform on-site imaging, large animal diagnostics, or need flexible setup in the clinic.
Budget Considerations: OR Technology offers solutions for all budgets, from compact stationary tables to advanced portable DR units. Modular and scalable systems help you invest efficiently.
Clinical Use Cases: Consider the types of procedures you perform most frequently. Fast image availability, ease of operation, and seamless integration with PACS software ensure optimized workflow and better patient care.
Costs of veterinary X-ray systems
The cost of a veterinary X-ray system depends on several factors, including system type, mobility, software integration, and clinical requirements. While initial investment varies, modern digital solutions offer significant long-term advantages in efficiency, image quality, and workflow.
