ENAdvanced Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced digital technologies for precise, rapid diagnoses
Our veterinary hospital is equipped with the most advanced digital imaging technologies available in veterinary medicine. The IDEXX ImageVue DR30 system and the Midmark Progeny system allow us to obtain exceptional quality X-ray images in seconds, while significantly reducing radiation exposure.
Diagnostic imaging allows us to see inside your pet's body to identify problems invisible to the naked eye. High-quality images mean more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments, and better outcomes 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.
Unlike humans who can tell us where they hurt, our animal patients rely entirely on our ability to identify their health problems. Diagnostic imaging is our window into their body.
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.
Surgical planning
Before any surgery, X-rays give us a complete view of your pet's anatomy to plan the procedure precisely and minimize risks.
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
- ✓Radiation reduction of 25% or more
- ✓Digital adjustments without re-exposure
- ✓Unlimited digital storage and accessibility
- ✓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 advanced diagnostic care.
IDEXX ImageVue DR30
Complete digital imaging system for full-body radiography
- ✓TRUVIEW ART technology — cesium crystals for exceptional clarity
- ✓High-resolution 2560 × 3072 pixel detector
- ✓Image in under 5 seconds — less time on the table
- ✓Radiation reduction of 25% or more
- ✓14" × 17" detection area — all animal types and sizes
- ✓ClearCapture Dx software designed for veterinary medicine
The ImageVue DR30 offers contrast and sharpness far superior to traditional CR systems, enabling more precise diagnoses.
Midmark Progeny
Specialized digital dental radiography system
- ✓Intraoral digital sensors 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 — 60% of each tooth is below the gum line. Without them, we could miss infections and abscesses.
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.
Maximum safety
Reduced radiation exposure protects your pet, especially important for young animals or those needing repeated exams.
Diagnostic precision
Exceptional image quality allows detection of subtle abnormalities — earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
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.
When do we use imaging?
Radiographic imaging is a versatile diagnostic tool used for a wide range of clinical situations in our daily practice.
Orthopedics
- •Fractures and trauma
- •Hip or elbow dysplasia
- •Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
- •Luxations and growth problems
- •Surgical planning
Thorax
- •Heart disease
- •Pneumonia and lung infections
- •Thoracic tumors
- •Fluid accumulation
- •Pre-anesthetic evaluation
Abdomen
- •Digestive foreign bodies
- •Kidney or bladder stones
- •Intestinal obstruction
- •Abdominal masses
- •Pregnancy and fetal counting
Dentistry
- •Advanced periodontal disease
- •Root infections
- •Broken or fractured teeth

Significant reduction in radiation exposure
Our IDEXX ImageVue DR30 system reduces radiation exposure by 25% or more compared to computer radiography (CR) systems and less advanced DR technologies.
This reduction is made possible by TRUVIEW ART technology which maximizes the capture of the light signal, allowing high-quality images with a much lower dose.
💡 Concrete example : For the same study, a traditional CR system might require 75 kVp and 60 mAs (246.3 mR), while our ImageVue DR30 only needs 76 kVp and 4.5 mAs (18.6 mR) — a massive reduction of over 90% in some cases!
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 low dose allows frequent X-rays without concern.
Precise diagnostics for optimal care
Our investment in the most advanced imaging technologies reflects our commitment to excellence in veterinary care. Your pet deserves the best possible diagnosis.
