We understand that medical procedures can be stressful for pets. Our team takes extra care to keep your pet calm and comfortable during imaging procedures, using gentle handling techniques and creating a soothing environment.

Comprehensive Digital Imaging Services

Digital Radiography (X-rays)

Our advanced digital X-ray system captures detailed images of your pet's bones, organs, and internal structures. Digital radiography is particularly useful for diagnosing:

• Broken bones and joint problems

• Bladder stones and kidney issues

• Foreign object ingestion

• Heart and lung conditions

• Spinal problems

• Tumors and masses

• Dental disease

The digital format allows us to enhance images for better clarity, zoom in on specific areas of concern, and easily share results with specialists when needed.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet's internal organs. This non-invasive technique is especially valuable for examining soft tissues and provides dynamic views of organ function. Ultrasound helps us diagnose:

• Pregnancy and reproductive health

• Abdominal organ conditions

• Heart problems and cardiac function

• Bladder and kidney abnormalities

• Fluid accumulation

• Cysts and tumors

• Gastrointestinal issues

What Advanced Imaging Can Reveal

Modern diagnostic imaging opens a window into your pet's health that physical examination alone cannot provide. Through our digital imaging services, we can detect and monitor numerous conditions:

Orthopedic Issues

From hip dysplasia in large breed dogs to arthritis in senior pets, our X-ray capabilities help us assess bone and joint health, plan surgical procedures, and monitor healing progress.

Internal Medicine Conditions

Ultrasound imaging allows us to evaluate organ size, texture, and function, helping diagnose conditions like liver disease, kidney problems, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Emergency Situations

When your pet has ingested something they shouldn't have or suffered trauma, immediate imaging can be lifesaving. We can quickly identify foreign objects, internal injuries, or other urgent medical conditions.

Preventive Health Screening

Regular imaging as part of wellness exams helps us catch problems before they become serious, especially important for senior pets who may develop age-related health issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is digital imaging safe for my pet?

Yes, digital imaging is very safe. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, and ultrasound uses no radiation at all. The benefits of accurate diagnosis far outweigh any minimal risks.

Will my pet need sedation for imaging?

Most pets don't require sedation for routine imaging procedures. However, some anxious pets or those needing specific positioning may benefit from mild sedation to ensure accurate results and reduce stress.

How long do imaging procedures take?

Most digital X-rays take just a few minutes to capture, while ultrasound exams typically take 15-30 minutes depending on the area being examined. Results are available immediately for review.

Can I stay with my pet during the procedure?

For safety reasons due to radiation exposure, pet owners cannot remain in the room during X-rays. However, our compassionate team will keep your pet comfortable, and you can return immediately after the images are captured.

Will insurance cover imaging services?

Many pet insurance policies cover diagnostic imaging when medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage details.
