Radiology
A 300 MA high frequency X-ray machine allows for short exposure time, and high resolution imaging. Radiographs help us diagnose many conditions.
We can see the heart and lungs, abdominal organs, bladder, and foreign bodies (some things that area swallowed). Broken bones are just part of the picture.
To the left is an image of a dog’s abdomen after swallowing liquid barium. This is done to better illustrate his intestines. To the right is a chest radiograph demonstrating a mass (arrow) in the thorax in front of the heart.
