Start with the clinical brief
What does your imaging service need to do?
For new hospitals, established clinics upgrading equipment, referral centers and project buyers. Define the examinations you intend to provide before comparing models or purchase prices.
Workload & team
Describe daily study volume, emergency use, operator experience and reporting arrangements to identify workflow and training needs.
Facility & investment
Share room dimensions, existing equipment, planned opening date and budget priorities. Flag any need for mobile use or staged procurement.
Select the equipment mix
Three imaging pathways. One project plan.
Each modality answers different imaging questions. Select a combination that fits your service scope and confirm every proposed capability by model.
Veterinary ultrasound
Plan real-time examinations around animal size, anatomy and the clinical team's scanning requirements.
- Select probes for the intended examinations and depth.
- Confirm required imaging modes, measurements and reporting tools by model.
- Compare portability, battery needs, cleaning and operator training.
Digital radiography / X-ray
Build a complete radiography setup around the generator, detector, positioning and image-acquisition workflow.
- Match generator capability and detector dimensions to patient coverage.
- Confirm detector compatibility, software licenses and workstation scope.
- Define fixed-room or mobile use, radiation protection and local installation requirements.
Veterinary CT
Evaluate cross-sectional imaging against your intended anatomy, patient range and specialist service plan.
- Compare CT type, field of view, patient access and reconstruction requirements.
- Review representative studies for the proposed clinical applications.
- Include patient handling, anesthesia where needed, room preparation and service access.
Additional scope: cone-beam CT, flat-panel detectors and dental X-ray. Select specialist systems by intended anatomy and workflow.
Procurement comparison
Compare more than the image.
DR uses X-rays; it is a digital radiography configuration, not a separate radiation modality. This table compares purchasing considerations, not individual model performance.
| Planning factor | Ultrasound | DR / X-ray | CT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imaging format | Real-time ultrasound images | Projection X-ray images | Cross-sectional images and reconstructions |
| Clinical scope to discuss | Soft-tissue, cardiac or focused examinations | Skeletal, thoracic and other projection studies | Selected complex anatomy and advanced imaging services |
| Patient fit | Probe access, penetration and handling | Detector coverage, positioning and generator output | Bore or access geometry, table limits and field of view |
| Configuration priorities | Probe set, modes, software and mobility | Generator, detector, acquisition software and workstation | Acquisition type, reconstruction, workstation and options |
| Facility planning | Examination space, power and cleaning | Room layout, exposure controls and radiation protection | Delivery access, utilities, radiation protection and service space |
| Patient preparation | Examination-dependent preparation and restraint | Positioning and restraint planned by the clinical team | Motion control and anesthesia needs reviewed by the clinical team |
| Data workflow | Still images, clips, reports and confirmed export options | Image acquisition, identification, archive and reporting | Study transfer, reconstructions, storage and reporting |
| Ongoing cost drivers | Probe care, service and software options | Detector care, maintenance and software support | Service scope, component coverage, software and operating resources |
The clinical team determines the appropriate examination and patient-management approach. Dose, scan time, image quality and patient capacity require model- and protocol-specific evaluation.
Evidence before selection
Evaluate the study, the workflow and the connection.
Use the same review criteria for each shortlisted system so your team can make a meaningful comparison.
Relevant image studies
Ask for available original images or clips covering your intended species and anatomy, with the model and acquisition settings identified.
Clinical-team review
Assess detail, contrast, artifacts, coverage and measurement tools against the examination. Review original data where available.
Operational demonstration
Review patient setup, acquisition, image review, reporting and export. Confirm the functions shown are included in the proposed configuration.
Data transfer test
Identify your picture archiving and communication system (PACS), required DICOM functions, software versions and licenses. Agree a compatibility test.
DICOM supports medical image exchange, but the functions implemented by each system must still be checked. See the DICOM standard overview. No PACS integration is assumed until its scope is confirmed.
Complete the configuration
Include the supporting equipment and space.
An imaging project connects acquisition, patient care, information systems and the building. Assign responsibility for each dependency before shipment.
Patient preparation
Include in the discussion
Positioning aids, transfer arrangements and accessories for the patient range.
Confirm before ordering
Confirm handling, sedation or anesthesia needs with your clinical team; include monitoring and recovery arrangements where required.
Room & delivery access
Include in the discussion
Equipment dimensions, service clearances, access route and floor-loading information.
Confirm before ordering
Review doorway and lift dimensions, equipment movement and maintenance access against the selected system.
Utilities & protection
Include in the discussion
Model-specific electrical, environmental and network requirements; radiation-protection planning where applicable.
Confirm before ordering
Local qualified professionals must confirm shielding, construction and applicable approvals. Agree who provides each preparation task.
Workstation & archive
Include in the discussion
Acquisition computer, review display, software, storage and backup arrangements.
Confirm before ordering
Confirm included licenses, study export, image retention and access for your reporting or referral service.
Related equipment: veterinary anesthesia machines and monitoring and critical-care equipment. Equipment supply does not automatically include site works, permits, shielding or on-site installation.
Investment planning

Illustrative planning example
Expand imaging around actual demand.
A small-animal hospital wants to improve routine imaging while preparing for a future referral service. This is a planning example, not a customer installation or a fixed recommendation.
- Current requirement
- Review ultrasound probe coverage and digital radiography workflow against current examinations and existing equipment.
- Future requirement
- Assess CT separately against referral demand, staffing, anatomy, facility readiness and service costs.
- Practical result
- Create an initial configuration and a later-stage decision list, with infrastructure dependencies identified before fit-out.
Imaging procurement FAQs
Answers for your project team.
Clarify equipment selection, integration, installation and long-term support before committing to a configuration.
Which imaging equipment should a new veterinary hospital buy first?
Start with your planned examinations, patient sizes, clinical team and expected workload. Compare ultrasound and radiography against these needs, then assess whether advanced imaging belongs at opening or in a later phase.
What is the difference between DR and an X-ray machine?
DR is digital radiography: an X-ray imaging workflow using a digital detector. An X-ray generator alone is not a complete DR system; confirm the detector, acquisition software, workstation and included accessories.
Can CT replace ultrasound and digital radiography?
These methods provide different types of information and may complement each other. Choose the mix around your clinical services and referral needs rather than treating CT as a universal replacement.
How should I choose between cone-beam and multi-slice CT?
Define anatomy, patient coverage and image-quality requirements first. Review representative studies, acquisition geometry, field of view, reconstruction, motion sensitivity and facility requirements for the actual models under consideration.
Can I upgrade my existing X-ray equipment with a digital detector?
Share the generator make, model, interfaces and intended examinations. Detector, triggering, software and workstation compatibility must be confirmed; a retrofit should not be assumed compatible from detector size alone.
What images should I review before choosing a system?
Request available original studies from the proposed configuration, with relevant species, anatomy and acquisition details. Have your clinical team review image quality and workflow, rather than relying only on compressed marketing images.
Will the equipment connect to our PACS or reporting system?
Connection depends on the model, software version, licensed functions and receiving system. Compare DICOM conformance information where available and agree a practical transfer test before accepting interoperability.
What are the room and radiation-protection requirements?
Requirements depend on equipment, workload, room layout and local rules. Obtain model-specific site information and have qualified local professionals review shielding, utilities and approvals before construction or installation.
Does the quotation include installation, training and warranty?
Ask for separate confirmation of installation method, commissioning, training, travel costs, warranty terms and service responsibilities. The included scope varies by equipment and destination and should be written into the quotation.
How can we estimate the total imaging project budget?
Combine the configured equipment price with freight, local taxes, site preparation, agreed installation, training, software and ongoing service. Confirm optional accessories and exclusions so quotations can be compared on the same basis.
