Precise Diagnostic Imaging
Digital technologies for clear, fast, same-visit diagnoses
In seconds, our digital imaging systems let us see inside your pet's body with a clarity that makes every detail readable. The IDEXX ImageVue DR30 (full-body radiography) and Midmark Progeny (dental radiography) produce high-quality images while reducing radiation exposure. The result: more reliable diagnoses and better-targeted treatments for your companion.

Why diagnostic imaging is essential
Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in modern veterinary care. It allows us to rapidly and accurately diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, plan surgical procedures with confidence, and monitor treatment progress.
Animals can't point to where it hurts, which makes visual diagnostic tools especially valuable. Imaging gives us clear answers to share with you right away.
Early detection
Imaging detects problems before they become serious or cause visible symptoms. The earlier we detect a problem, the more treatment options we have.
Accurate diagnosis
Instead of guessing, X-rays show us exactly what is wrong. This means targeted, effective treatments from day one.
Confidence before committing
Before recommending surgery or a course of treatment, X-rays give a complete picture of what is happening. You can make informed decisions knowing exactly what you are dealing with.
Treatment monitoring
Sequential images allow us to see if a treatment is working, if an injury is healing correctly, or if adjustments are needed.
Non-invasive and safe
We obtain valuable diagnostic information without exploratory surgery, reducing risks and discomfort for your pet.
Clear communication
A picture is worth a thousand words. We can show you exactly what we see and explain the diagnosis visually.
The technology difference
Comparing traditional systems with our advanced digital technologies
Traditional radiography (film/CR)
- ✗Darkroom development (10 to 15 minutes)
- ✗Variable and sometimes blurry image quality
- ✗Higher radiation exposure
- ✗Need to retake imperfect images
- ✗Bulky physical film storage
- ✗Difficult sharing with specialists
- ✗Chemical environmental impact
Our digital systems (IDEXX & Midmark)
- ✓Images available in under 5 seconds
- ✓Superior image quality with enhanced contrast
- ✓Up to 25% less radiation exposure
- ✓Digital adjustments without re-exposure
- ✓Secure, accessible digital storage
- ✓Instant sharing with specialists
- ✓Eco-friendly technology without chemicals
Our state-of-the-art imaging technologies
We have invested in the best veterinary imaging technologies available to provide your pet with the most precise and comfortable diagnostic care possible.
IDEXX ImageVue DR30
Complete digital imaging system for full-body radiography
- ✓TRUVIEW technology: cesium crystals for exceptional image clarity
- ✓High-resolution 2560 × 3072 pixel detector
- ✓Image in under 5 seconds, less time on the table
- ✓Radiation reduction of up to 25%
- ✓14" × 17" detection area: all animal types and sizes
- ✓ClearCapture software, designed specifically for veterinary medicine
The ImageVue DR30 offers contrast and sharpness far superior to traditional systems, enabling more precise diagnoses.
Midmark Progeny
Specialized digital dental radiography system
- ✓Small digital sensors placed inside your pet's mouth for exceptional dental clarity
- ✓Ultra-high resolution for root detail visualization
- ✓Instant images during dental procedures
- ✓Minimal radiation exposure
- ✓Sensors adapted for cats, small and large dogs
- ✓Specialized dental analysis software
Dental X-rays reveal what is invisible to the naked eye: up to 60% of a tooth can lie below the gum line. Without them, we could miss infections and abscesses.
Ultrasound
Radiation-free imaging, performed right at the clinic
- ✓Ultrasound machine available right here in clinic
- ✓By appointment, the Animages specialist team comes to the clinic: ultrasound performed and interpreted on the spot
- ✓Our team can also perform the ultrasound and send the images to a veterinary radiologist through our IDEXX platform (results: up to one week)
- ✓Referral to a specialist when the condition requires specialist follow-up
- ✓Your veterinarian will recommend the option best suited to your pet's condition
Ultrasound complements radiography: it shows organs and their movement in real time, with no radiation at all.
The benefits for your companion
Exceptional speed
Your pet spends less time immobilized on the table. Images appear in seconds, a complete exam in just minutes.
Same-visit results
Images are available during the appointment, which means a diagnosis and treatment plan in the same visit, without unnecessary waiting or a follow-up for results.
Full coverage
Two complementary systems under one roof: full-body radiography with the IDEXX DR30 and dental radiography with the Midmark Progeny, for a comprehensive assessment in a single visit.
No unnecessary retakes
With digital adjustments, we improve brightness and contrast without re-exposing your pet to radiation.
Specialist consultation
Digital images can be shared instantly with specialized veterinary radiologists if a second opinion is needed.
Complete history
All X-rays are stored in your pet's medical record to compare evolution over time and track chronic conditions.

Significant reduction in radiation exposure
Our IDEXX ImageVue DR30 system reduces radiation exposure by up to 25% compared to older computed-radiography and conventional digital systems.
This reduction is made possible by TRUVIEW technology, which maximizes the capture of the light signal, allowing high-quality images with a much lower dose.
Staff protection
Our team is exposed to less radiation during each exam, ensuring their long-term safety.
Your pet's protection
Especially important for young growing animals and those requiring repeated examinations.
Safe repeated exams
For fracture follow-up or chronic conditions, the lower dose helps keep cumulative exposure to a minimum.
