Engineering Breakthrough for Pets
One thing that millions of families have in common is our love for our pets. Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and even reptiles have become of a part of our lives. Many people have grown to love their pets and treated them just as they would another family member. So when it comes to medical care, people have spent thousands of dollars to do what they can to save their pet family member from an accident, or to treat the animal of a disease such as cancer.
Thanks to medical engineering we can help and save our pets. For example we now have prosthetics. With 3D scanning we can now get a detailed image to make the prosthetics more efficient as well as more cost efficient.
Other advancements for our pets thanks for engineering include MRI’s to see what is going on inside the animals body, ultrasounds which are similar to MRI’s but not as in depth, laparoscopy which is a camera to go inside the animal to detect disease, and micro-fracture detection for bone health.
Our pets and are now able to live a longer and healthier life with all the new advancements that engineers are learning everyday.
