Do you do digital? Digital radiography use growing in veterinary practices
A new study finds that most veterinarians still use film-based radiography, but digital radiography is up and coming.
Most of you probably want digital radiography in your practice, but you don’t think you can justify the expense. Brakke Consulting’s latest survey on the use of digital radiography in small-animal practices shows you’re not alone.
Fifty-five percent of the more than 300 practitioners surveyed still use film exclusively, but digital is growing all the time. Funny thing is, lots of veterinarians aren’t sure what kind of digital radiography machine they’ve got. See below for how the numbers break down right now.
