Diagnostic x-ray or radiography has been used in veterinary medicine for nearly as long as it has been in human medicine. Images of bones, joints and internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen can be surveyed for changes in size shape or density to determine certain diseases. X-ray imaging is painless and rarely requires anesthesia. Common specific uses in our practice include:

Broken Bones, Dislocations and Fractures

Cancer and other Benign Masses

Obstructions or Foreign Bodies in the stomach and intestines

Bladder and Kidney Stones

Hip Dysplasia - OFA Certifications

Heartworm Disease

Tooth Root Abscesses, Oral Tumors, Fractures
