Imaging

 

Radiographs

Commonly known as x-rays, assist our veterinarians with diagnosing abnormalities in the skeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems.  We have the ability to take full body digital x-rays, and digital dental x-rays.  Digital radiographs are better quality than standard film radiographs and are able to be sent via email to a specialist if needed.


Ultrasound

Ultrasound exams are performed for many reasons.  In human medicine, most of us think about ultrasound exams during pregnancy.  However, in veterinary medicine, ultrasound is a safe way to look inside the body, making it a useful tool for many other situations. Your veterinarian may have requested an ultrasound exam of your pet for one of the following reasons:

  • Abnormal bloodwork
  • Vomiting or diarrhea that has lasted for a long time
  • Weight loss with no change in eating habits
  • Chronic infections
  • Change in urinary habits
  • Baseline ultrasound for future examination (geriatric patients)
  • Recheck on previous problem
  • Cancer staging
  • Fluid in chest or abdomen
  • Pregnancy
