Understanding Veterinary Radiology
Radiology encompasses a variety of tools that help us see beyond your pet’s fur and skin at their bones and internal systems. Depending on the reason for your pet’s radiological exam, we will recommend different kinds of tests.
Each of these services targets different parts of your pet’s body. Depending on what your pet is being treated for, our team of highly trained veterinarians will recommend different tests. Because we are an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited animal hospital, we boast the most state-of-the-art equipment and procedures, so you can be sure your pet is getting the help they need when they need it most.
At Onslow Animal Hospital, we offer a variety of radiological services to help us better understand your pet’s condition, including:
- Ultrasounds
- Digital X-rays
- Echocardiograms
What Is an Ultrasound?
Unlike X-rays, which use small doses of radiation to take pictures of your pet’s dense tissues, ultrasounds use high frequency soundwaves to capture real-time images of your pet’s soft tissues and internal organs. If your pet needs to diagnose a broken bone, an ultrasound is not the right imaging technology – but not to worry! Our team can provide X-rays as well. The soundwaves used by ultrasound technology means that this procedure is safe for pregnant pets and other sensitive or delicate tissues.
One of the key benefits of radiology is that these are non-invasive procedures that are also pain-free. Though we may sometimes have to sedate your pet to get a clear picture of the area under examination, these diagnostic tools are simply a way for us to get a closer look at your pet’s condition.
