How X-rays Work

X-rays use a small amount of radiation to create images of your pet's bones, organs, and other internal structures. These images help our veterinarians visualize and assess:

  • Skeletal System: Identify fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and bone tumors.
  • Respiratory System: Evaluate the lungs and airways for signs of pneumonia, bronchitis, or tumors.
  • Cardiovascular System: Assess the size and shape of the heart and detect potential heart disease.
  • Gastrointestinal System: Identify foreign objects, blockages, or tumors in the digestive tract.
  • Urinary System: Evaluate the kidneys, bladder, and urethra for stones, blockages, or other abnormalities.
  • Reproductive System: Assess the reproductive organs for pregnancy, tumors, or other conditions.

Benefits of X-rays

  • Non-invasive: X-rays are a non-invasive diagnostic tool, minimizing discomfort for your pet.
  • Quick and Efficient: X-ray images are produced quickly, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Detailed Visualization: X-rays provide detailed images of your pet's internal structures, aiding in accurate diagnosis.
  • Versatile: X-rays can be used to diagnose a wide range of conditions affecting various body systems.

The X-ray Procedure

  • Positioning: Your pet will be carefully positioned on the X-ray table to obtain clear images of the area of interest.
  • Image Capture: A brief burst of radiation is used to create the X-ray image.
  • Interpretation: Our experienced veterinarians will analyze the X-ray images to identify any abnormalities or areas of concern.

We take all necessary precautions to minimize your pet's exposure to radiation during the X-ray procedure. Our staff is trained in radiation safety protocols, and we use protective equipment to ensure the safety of both your pet and our team.
