Imaging exotic pets can be a challenging endeavour, with factors such as small patient size, limited access to advanced equipment, and difficulty obtaining quality images often complicating diagnoses. Fortunately, a groundbreaking new imaging system, Adaptix SA3D, is transforming how veterinary professionals approach exotic pet care.

Sponsored by Adaptix Ltd., the recent webinar "Adaptix: A New Way of Imaging Exotic Pets" showcased the incredible capabilities of this innovative 3D radiographic system. Here's a closer look at the key insights from the session and how this technology is redefining imaging in exotic veterinary medicine.

Overcoming Common Imaging Challenges

A public survey highlighted the main obstacles faced by veterinary professionals when imaging exotic pets:

• 43% reported a lack of training and experience.

• 24% struggled to obtain high-quality images.

• 21% noted limited access to advanced imaging technology.

• 12% identified the cost of imaging procedures as a barrier.

Adaptix SA3D addresses these concerns by offering superior image quality, reduced costs, and a user-friendly, compact design. This system provides a first-line diagnostic tool, reducing the need for referrals while offering greater detail and lower radiation doses for both patients and clinicians.

What Sets Adaptix SA3D Apart?

The Adaptix 3D imaging system is distinct from traditional 2D radiographs and CT scans. Similar to a microscope, this system allows clinicians to scroll through layers of information to focus on specific areas of interest. Key benefits include:

• Exceptional Image Detail: The ability to view intricate anatomical structures layer by layer enhances diagnostic accuracy.

• Compact and Portable Design: Its small base plate and fixed head make it suitable for even the smallest of practices.

• Lower Costs: Both clinics and clients benefit from reduced costs compared to CT imaging.

• Ease of Use: Intuitive operation ensures rapid image production, making it accessible to veterinary teams with varying levels of expertise.

Case Studies Demonstrating Real-World Impact

Case 1: A Rabbit with Epiphora

Dr Molly shared the case of a 4-year-old male rabbit presenting with epiphora and a blocked tear duct. Traditional X-rays failed to provide clear results due to superimposition of structures. However, Adaptix SA3D enabled the team to focus on the affected area without extraneous information, providing detailed layers of images.

Case 2: A Horsfield’s Tortoise with Appetite Issues

A 10-year-old Horsfield’s tortoise, missing for two months and not eating well since its return, posed a diagnostic challenge. Adaptix SA3D bridged the gap between cost-effective X-rays and the high-detail imaging of CT scans. The ability to build a 3D image of relevant changes rapidly enhanced diagnostic clarity and supported the development of a targeted treatment plan.

Elevating Exotic Pet Care

Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating exotic pets, many of which rely heavily on an appropriate environment to maintain health. While no single imaging modality is perfect, Adaptix SA3D strikes a remarkable balance between affordability and high-resolution imaging.

Its ability to produce detailed, layer-by-layer images ensures that subtle changes are not missed, providing clinicians with the insights needed to deliver exceptional care.
