Our digital x-ray and ultrasound machines give us a peek at what is going on beneath the surface of your pet. Using these tools, we are able to find potential issues that we could not see before.
Radiology
An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive diagnostic test that aids in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Our Digital x-ray machine delivers images in seconds and offers lower exposure to radiation. With this tool, we can diagnose problems such as hairline fractures, pneumonia, or bladder stones.
Ultrasonography
Ultrasound is a very useful diagnostic tool that utilizes sounds waves through a specialized probe to project real-time images or videos of our patient’s organs onto a display screen. This modality allows the veterinarians to see within the organs and body cavities of our patients. With this tool, we can monitor blood flow to organs, check for intestinal obstructions, or look for abnormal fluid accumulation.
