Going to the Patient

A mobile X-ray machine has made a significant impact on cases in the Hixson-Lied Small Animal Hospital. Thanks to the versatility of the mobile unit, patients who are anesthetized no longer must be moved to the radiology department from surgery. The X-ray machine was recently brought directly to the orthopedic surgery patient pictured, allowing the patient to receive essential diagnostic imaging quickly and reducing the amount of time many patients are under general anesthesia. Additionally, the mobile X-ray serves as a vital resource for Emergency and Critical Care, providing immediate imaging support for patients in critical condition.
