Modern X-ray Equipment for Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment

At Halifax Veterinary Centre, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to support fast, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Our advanced digital processing system produces high-quality images that enhance diagnostic accuracy – meaning fewer X-rays need to be taken. Because digital processing is much faster than traditional film development, your pet spends less time under sedation or anaesthesia.

All DICOM images are backed up daily to a special cloud-based storage system. JPEG copies of are added to your pet’s clinical record, and you receive a copy of these notes after each visit.

Our powerful X-ray generator allows us to take detailed images even in large dogs. Higher power means shorter exposure times, which reduces motion blur and results in clearer images -especially important when imaging moving structures like the heart and lungs.

We choose to travel from Mapua to the Halifax Vet Clinic, Nelson with our pets because we find the vet team to be highly skilled and extremely professional. Their diagnostic skills are excellent, and their verbal explanations and written documentation ensure the pet owners are fully informed of the problems, subsequent treatment and aftercare.

Halifax has extremely sophisticated diagnostic equipment which enables fast, on the spot diagnosis, and hence quicker and more targeted treatment. The veterinary nurses also have a wide knowledge base and are extremely helpful, especially with phone queries.

In view of the above we are totally satisfied our loved pets will get the best care and attention possible.

Jill and Peter Smillie, Mapua

A big thank you to Josie’s extended family at Halifax Veterinary Centre. I wish to thank you all for making Josie feel special not just to me but also to yourselves as well. Your care for her over the years is something that I will always treasure and respect. She was my special friend for nine years and I feel we were all lucky to have a share in her friendship.
