At our veterinary facility, we employ advanced diagnostic tools, including x-ray imaging, to identify and address various health issues in our furry patients. X-rays are routinely utilized to investigate the root cause of symptoms, rule out potential problems, or provide a comprehensive list of possible causes. Additionally, we may incorporate x-ray examinations during wellness checks to proactively diagnose potential issues before they escalate.
X-ray imaging offers invaluable insights into a pet's skeletal structure, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory system (lungs), cardiovascular health (heart), and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate). We employ radiology either as a standalone diagnostic method or in conjunction with other complementary tools. Accurate interpretation of radiographic images requires exceptional skill and expertise from our veterinary professionals.
Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art digital radiology technology, which captures x-ray images digitally rather than on traditional film. This advanced system enables us to provide quicker diagnoses for your beloved companions. Additionally, digital radiology utilizes lower levels of radiation compared to conventional x-ray methods.
To ensure clear and unobstructed images, it is crucial for pets to remain completely still during the x-ray procedure. In certain cases, we may need to administer sedation or short-acting general anesthesia to facilitate a successful and stress-free experience.
