Radiology

Radiology helps our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems. Radiographs (X-rays) are extremely helpful for diagnosing medical and surgical problems. If your veterinarian feels a lump or growth in your pet's abdomen, an X-ray can determine where the mass is located. If your pet is experiencing a medical problem, an X-ray can often pinpoint the organ where the problem is occurring. Tumors and foreign bodies (lodged in the stomach or the intestine) may be seen in an X-ray. Heart and lung disease, gastrointestinal problems and bladder stones can often be diagnosed with X-rays.
