Radiology

Radiographs - most commonly referred to as x-rays - are images created using radiation that show the body’s internal structures. The amount of radiation a pet is exposed to is minimal. In fact, the level of exposure is so low that this type of imaging is safe even for pregnant females and very young animals.

We often use x-rays to examine a patient’s bones and ligaments to diagnose injuries. We also use them to assess the shape, position, and size of several organs, including the heart, lungs, and intestines. Our veterinarians also rely on radiology when diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, bladder stones, and more.
