When it comes to accurately diagnosing and treating your pet after he or she has experienced an injury or illness, you can count on our veterinary team to have the latest diagnostic equipment, including digital imaging devices and ultrasound machines.
Injuries and Ailments Diagnosed via Radiology and Ultrasounds
Digital imaging, including radiographs (X-rays) and ultrasound, helps veterinarians diagnose a wide range of conditions in dogs and cats. These diagnostic tools allow us to evaluate injuries and identify problems such as broken bones, joint issues, tumors, and abnormalities affecting internal organs like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and bladder.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create real-time images on a monitor. By gently moving a handheld probe over your pet’s body, our team can evaluate internal organs and detect issues that may not be visible during a physical exam.
Ultrasounds are commonly used to identify concerns such as swallowed foreign objects, tumors, or abnormalities in organs like the stomach, spleen, liver, and pancreas. This imaging method is safe, painless, and non-invasive, with no known side effects.
Radiographs
Radiographs, commonly called X-rays, are used to examine bones, joints, and certain internal structures. X-rays help diagnose conditions such as fractures, joint swelling, arthritis, and other bone abnormalities.
They can also provide valuable insight into the chest and abdomen and help veterinarians evaluate organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
