Advice
Purchasing a digital radiography system
can be a daunting task.
Vet Direct has access to many systems -
much more than we can publish in the price

Consultant available to help you with
your purchase decision.
Considerations such as service and support, detector
technology, image quality, software functionality, PACS,
DICOM, backup and practice management integration
are topics that must be considered at some point in your
digital modality purchase.
The trick is to avoid becoming overwhelmed and to
evaluate each digital modality in a systematic approach.
In our many years of dealing with a wide array of veterinary
imaging needs the starting point for any imaging purchase
discussion is which type of technology is appropriate for
your practices.
In this case we are talking about Digital imaging systems.
The three types of detector technology are computed
radiography [CR] direct digital radiography [DR] which
includes Flat panel and [CCD] type cameras systems.
