A zoo is giving people a more intimate picture of its animals – after having them X-rayed.The procedure was done was part of continuing health checks on the wildlife population at Oregon Zoo in Portland, Oregon, USA.And they give incredible detail of the mammals, birds, lizards and amphibians who live at the park.A spokesperson said:” How do you x-ray a 320-pound (145 kilo) tiger? Very carefully, of course — and with state-of-the-art equipment.Every animal at the Oregon Zoo receives routine health exams, and often these checkups include x-rays. “Digital radiology has proved a useful diagnostic tool and helped the zoo’s animal experts provide excellent health care. “Digital radiology allows us to get X-ray results faster and fine-tune the images after taking them, so we’re able to minimize anaesthesia and examination time for animals, according to zoo veterinarians. “This decreased anaesthesia time means lower risk and improved safety for our patients. “Plus we can digitally archive images for later comparison, and share X-rays with consultants and veterinary staff at other zoos.” Zoo vets noted that the digital system produces images with great detail and clarity — which helps ensure excellent health care for the animals, and it also provides a unique glimpse inside the world of wildlife.The equipment used by the zoo was funded largely by a donation from the state’s Banfield Pet Hospital.
