A trusted technology for diagnosing internal issues is
Pet X-ray.
Uncover the science behind pet X-rays.
Pet X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the body and capture images of internal structures. When X-rays penetrate your pet’s body, they are absorbed at different rates by different tissues. Dense tissues, such as bones, absorb more X-rays and appear white on the X-ray image, while softer tissues, such as muscles and organs, absorb fewer X-rays and appear in shades of gray. This contrast helps our veterinarians visualize and assess the internal structures of your pet’s body.
What X-rays can help our veterinarians diagnose.
X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool used to identify and monitor health conditions in pets. Some common uses of pet X-rays are:
- Bone Fractures: X-rays are used to detect and evaluate fractures, breaks, and other bone abnormalities your pet may be suffering from.
- Joint Issues: Pet X-rays can help diagnose conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint-related problems.
- Foreign Objects: X-rays can reveal foreign objects that your pet may have ingested or come into contact with.
- Organ Assessment: X-rays are used to evaluate the size, shape, and position of your pet’s internal organs, helping to diagnose conditions such as heart disease, lung problems, and gastrointestinal issues.
- Dental Issues: Dental pet X-rays provide detailed images of your pet’s teeth and jaw, helping to identify problems such as tooth root abscesses, bone loss, and other dental conditions.
