Radiology
(X-Rays)
Radiology is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine. A radiograph, or x-ray, is used to evaluate bones and internal organs. Radiography, or x-ray imaging, is painless, safe, and completely non-invasive. It uses very low doses of radiation, so even pregnant females and young pets can undergo radiography. Radiographs are an important tool that can guide us in correctly diagnosing your pet. Our radiology service is staffed by caring, skilled professionals who will provide state-of-the-art care with compassion and expertise.
