Vet-Ray by Sedecal Digital DX-V Veterinary X-ray

Complete Digital Veterinary X-Ray for Efficient Exams

The Vet-Ray by Sedecal Digital DX-V combines a veterinary X-ray table, integrated high-frequency generator, digital detector, acquisition workstation, and image-sharing tools in one system. Practices can select a 17 x 17 in. (43.2 x 43.2 cm) detector for broad anatomical coverage or a removable 14 x 17 in. (35.6 x 43.2 cm) detector for more varied positioning.

Key benefits include:

• • Choice of 17 x 17 in. (43.2 x 43.2 cm) or 14 x 17 in. (35.6 x 43.2 cm) VIVIX HD detectors
  • Four-way floating tabletop for controlled patient positioning
  • Single Touch II touch-screen monitor for patient, body-part, and image selection
  • Four-second image cycle time for rapid image availability
  • Hands-free collimator light control and table lock release
  • DICOM-compatible transfer, PACS workflow, and remote image access options

The complete configuration is intended to reduce movement between exposure, review, and distribution. The generator fits inside the table base, while the touch-screen monitor keeps acquisition controls and image review accessible within the radiology area.

Veterinary Clinical Environments & Applications

The Vet-Ray Digital DX-V supports routine and specialty veterinary radiography in practices that need a fixed digital room with flexible patient positioning. Detector selection, table length, and positioning accessories can be matched to the animal sizes and examination types handled by the facility.

Veterinary Care Environments

Appropriate environments include:

• • Companion animal veterinary practices
  • Feline-focused practices
  • Emergency and specialty hospitals
  • Exotic animal practices
  • Practices that routinely image large dog breeds

Supported Radiographic Applications

The system supports common digital veterinary X-ray examinations, including:

• • Thoracic and abdominal radiography
  • Orthopedic and extremity studies
  • Spinal imaging
  • Skull and dental-region overview imaging
  • Horizontal-beam and cross-table studies with the appropriate detector and tube-stand configuration
  • Weight-bearing and oblique views with the appropriate detector and tube-stand configuration

How Does the Vet-Ray Digital DX-V Support Daily Imaging Workflow?

Four-Way Floating Tabletop for Patient Positioning

The standard 5 ft (1.52 m) tabletop floats in four directions to help position the anatomy beneath the X-ray beam while limiting unnecessary patient movement. Adjustable tie-down rails support secure positioning. A 6 ft (1.83 m) tabletop is available for larger breeds, while a shorter 3 ft (0.91 m) tabletop is available for feline-focused applications.

Touch-Screen Control at the Radiology Table

The Single Touch II monitor system places patient selection, body-part selection, image review, and acquired-image display on a heads-up touch screen. This keeps the primary exam workflow in the imaging area rather than requiring repeated movement to a separate workstation.

Hands-Free Positioning Controls

Hands-free collimator light control and table lock release allow the operator to keep both hands available for patient positioning. This is especially useful when maintaining alignment or restraint immediately before exposure.

Fast Image Availability

The VIVIX HD detector acquires and displays images in approximately four seconds. Advanced Veterinary Image Processing software applies exam-specific image processing, helping the operator move from positioning to review without manually adjusting every image.

Which VIVIX Detector Best Fits the Practice?

17 x 17 in. Detector for Broad Anatomical Coverage

The 17 x 17 in. (43.2 x 43.2 cm) VIVIX detector provides the largest available image field in the DX-V lineup. Its square format is especially useful when imaging large breeds because the detector does not need to be rotated between portrait and landscape orientation.

14 x 17 in. Detector for Advanced Positioning

The 14 x 17 in. (35.6 x 43.2 cm) detector is removable and rotatable. When configured with the variable-SID tube stand used in the Premium Vet system, it supports horizontal-beam, weight-bearing, oblique, and cross-table examinations.

Digital Imaging, Processing & Connectivity Technologies

Tethered or Wireless Digital Acquisition

VIVIX HD detector configurations are available with tethered or wireless connectivity. This gives the practice a choice between a fixed wired workflow and greater detector-placement flexibility, depending on room design and examination needs.

VIVIX HD Image Quality

The detector provides 3.5 line pairs per millimeter spatial resolution, 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion, and 16-bit digital output. Depending on the selected detector, scintillator options include cesium or gadolinium.

Advanced Veterinary Image Processing

Advanced Veterinary Image Processing software applies exam-specific processing based on the selected anatomy and study. This helps produce review-ready images quickly while reducing the need for repetitive manual adjustment.

Acquisition Workstation & Display

The digital system includes an acquisition computer and wall mount, a 24 in. (61 cm) high-resolution 2-megapixel monitor, and the Single Touch II monitor interface. These components provide a dedicated environment for acquisition, review, and study management.

PACS, DICOM & Remote Collaboration

The system includes QXLINK PACS and a PACS workstation with a PC and 24 in. (61 cm) monitor. DICOM transfer supports specialist collaboration, while studies can also be distributed by CD, USB drive, or compatible cloud storage for viewing on web-enabled computers and mobile devices.

Compact High-Frequency Generator Options

The solid-state high-frequency generator is installed inside the table base to minimize the system footprint. The standard configuration is rated at 32 kW, 400 mA, 125 kVp, and 500 mAs with 220 VAC single-phase input. Optional generator configurations are available for three-phase 208 VAC or 480 VAC installations.
