Digital Radiology

We are pleased to offer radiology services as a means of providing excellent care to our patients.

A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be seen from phycial exam. Radiography can be used to evaluate the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as the bones.

Radiography is painless, safe, and non-invasive. Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones as well as the size, shape, and position of many of the body's organs. The size of organs is important because some medical conditions such as kidney, heart, or liver disease can alter the size of these organs. The shape and position of organs can be altered or distorted by certain medical conditions, including intestinal blockage or cancer. Tumors, depending on their size and location, can also sometimes be detected using radiography. Radiography can also be used to diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, and a variety of other conditions.

Radiographs are an important tool that can help us make a correct diagnosis for your pet.
