Q: Is it worth repairing an older veterinary X-ray machine?

A: It depends on repair cost relative to replacement, the unit's age, and whether parts and software are still supported. If a repair approaches half the cost of new equipment on an aging unit, replacement is often the better investment. For newer, supported units, repair is usually worthwhile.

Not sure which side of that line your equipment falls on? Free phone troubleshooting and repair estimates — just call.

A steadily climbing retake rate isn't always about positioning or body condition — it's also one of the earliest signs of generator output drift or detector problems. Keeping a simple monthly tally can turn a vague feeling into a real baseline your technician can act on.

Curious what your retake rate might be telling you? We're happy to help you figure it out.

Did you know? On TFAST, a present "glide sign" — the normal shimmering motion between lung layers — essentially rules out pneumothorax at that site, confirmed in seconds instead of waiting on a full radiographic study.

When the glide sign is absent, it's the trigger to keep looking. Small detail, big diagnostic speed.

Q: Can my main x-ray system also handle dental radiography?

A: Not effectively. Dental imaging needs a dedicated mobile or wall-mounted unit built for intraoral positioning — not a general table-and-generator system meant for full-body imaging. Worth budgeting for separately if dental is part of your practice.
