Veterinary Medicine is such an exciting profession. We’re constantly learning new and exciting techniques to improve our diagnostic and therapeutic treatments for our patients. Two such technologies are digitized x-rays (radiographs) and PCR (DN A) testing.
Digitized x-rays give us the ability to not only improve the quality of our images, but obtain expert consultations from our Board Certified Veterinary Radiology consulting team. With the addition of these consults, we can obtain important diagnostic information for our database and make more precise and timely diagnoses.
PCR (DNA) Testing has revolutionized the diagnosis of multiple diseases. Diseases transmitted by ticks, infectious respiratory diseases, and infectious diarrhea can now be quickly and precisely diagnosed with this new technology. The advantages of these new tests are a quick and precise diagnosis resulting in targeted treatments. Additionally, identifying infectious agents can both help identify the source of infection (e.g. dog run, grooming parlor, boarding kennel, etc.) and hopefully prevent the spread of disease and minimize the severity of the disease.
These are just 2 of the newest and exciting technologies available to veterinarians. If you’d like more information, please email us for more information.
