Can veterinary x-rays be recycled for silver?

X-rays taken by veterinarians in animal hospitals and clinics resemble those used by human doctors. These X-rays, known as rare-earth X-rays, contain an equivalent amount of silver, which can and must be recycled.

The Difference Between the Disposal of Veterinarian and Human X-Ray Records

One the difference in the disposal process of these is that most state lawsrequire physicians to keep the records for about 7 years, while veterinariansare required by most states to keep the X-rays for only 3 years from the datethat the patient was last treated by theveterinarian.

Another key difference is that human X-rays are classified as protected information, and HIPAA regulations do not extend to veterinarians since pets lack the confidentiality privileges afforded to humans under HIPAA patients.
