Radiology

 

One of the most common and valuable medical diagnostic tools is radiography or x-rays. X-rays are highly useful for screening areas of the body that have contrasting tissue densities or when evaluating solid tissues. Our hospital is equipped to perform routine radiology services to identify many types of illness or injury when pets are sick or suffer a trauma.

 

X-rays can be used to detect a variety of ailments including arthritis, different forms of cancers, lung diseases including pneumonia, bladder and kidney stones, as well as evaluate bone damage, organ integrity and identify foreign objects that may have been ingested. Dental x-rays will help to distinguish between healthy teeth and any of which need to be extracted, and identify any abnormalities beneath the gums including root damage, tumors and abscesses.

 

Our skilled veterinarian technicians, when directed from our veterinarians, will take x-rays as a part of a diagnostic procedure  if your pet is experiencing any health conditions or as preventive measure in a routine senior wellness examination.
