RADIOLOGY

Digital radiographs (x-rays) are one of the many diagnostic tools we have at our facility. Our veterinary nurses perform the necessary imaging to be evaluated and interpreted by either our veterinarians, or easily sent for consult with a veterinary radiology specialist.

WHY IS THIS USED?

Radiographs are the best to for evaluating bone structure but can also be useful for visualizing the lungs, heart, and other organ structures to shed light on any health problems your pet may be dealing with. Depending on the symptoms being experienced, this may be combined with labwork, ultrasound, or other testing to get a full picture of an issue to best treat your pet.
