Radiology

Our hospital offers radiology services for pets. Radiology is the study and science of x-rays and other high-energy radiation, especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. X-rays and ultrasound are used to help your veterinarian diagnose a problem or disease in your pet. X-rays are capable of detecting arthritis, fractures, bony tumors and other forms of cancer; heart enlargement, pneumonia and other lung diseases and much more. Ultrasound is capable of assessing the pancreas, stomach, intestines, and other organs for degenerative changes, infiltrative disease like cancer and much more. X-rays and ultrasound are part of a diagnostic work-up if your pet is having a problem or as part of a general wellness examination in an older pet to detect potential problems early. Ask our staff or veterinarians if you have questions about our Radiology Services.
