Radiology is a diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way. X-rays allow us to create images of all the body’s organs. We use a digital radiography system which allows us to obtain our images quickly and send them easily to specialists when needed.
Radiographs are used extensively to help diagnose our sick patients and to evaluate lameness, as well as to monitor progress of patients with heart disease and other chronic conditions.
We also take full mouth radiographs for all of our patients who are undergoing dental procedures. This helps us to “look beneath the surface” and identify dental disease involving the roots of the teeth which may not be readily apparent by just looking in the mouth.
The use of radiology is safe, and our entire staff is highly trained. In the proper use of these diagnostic tools. It is our goal to provide your pet with the highest level of medical care possible, and this is just one of the many ways we achieve that.
