Request an AppointmentConditions Diagnosed with Radiology and Ultrasound
Digital imaging techniques—including ultrasounds, radiographs (x-rays), MRIs, and CT scans—allow us to detect and diagnose a wide range of conditions in dogs and cats. Common issues identified through these methods include:
- Broken bones and joint problems
- Tumors and abnormal growths
- Brain and spinal abnormalities
- Heart, lung, liver, kidney, and bladder conditions
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce real-time images on a computer monitor. By gently moving the handheld wand over an area of concern, our team can detect hidden problems such as:
- Swallowed foreign objects
- Tumors or internal masses
- Organ abnormalities in the stomach, liver, spleen, or pancreas
Ultrasound is completely painless and has no side effects, making it a safe diagnostic option for pets.
Radiographs (X-Rays)
Radiographs, commonly known as x-rays, are used to examine bones and joints for signs of fractures, swelling, or other abnormalities. X-rays also help evaluate internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys for signs of disease or injury.
MRIs
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides highly detailed images of your pet’s internal structures. MRIs are particularly useful for diagnosing:
- Brain tumors and neurological abnormalities
- Spinal disorders, including herniated discs and spinal stenosis
CT Scans
Computed Tomography (CT) scans are advanced, high-resolution x-rays that produce cross-sectional images of your pet’s anatomy. This technology allows our veterinarians to focus on specific areas and make precise, detailed diagnoses of complex conditions.
Diagnosing and Treating Your Pet’s Condition
Using our state-of-the-art imaging technology—x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds—our veterinary team can quickly and accurately identify your pet’s health issues. Once the diagnosis is complete, we will create a customized treatment plan designed to promote healing and restore your pet’s well-being.
