Diagnostic Imaging

At Animal Care Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic imaging technologies to provide a detailed view of your pet’s internal health. Our goal is to offer precise and timely insights, ensuring that we can deliver the best possible care for your furry friend. Here’s an overview of the imaging services we offer:

Digital X-Rays

Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology, which allows us to capture high-quality images of your pet’s internal structures almost instantly. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital radiography provides clearer and more detailed images that can be easily enlarged and manipulated to focus on specific areas of concern.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays:

• Rapid Results: Images appear immediately, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment.
• Enhanced Detail: Clear and detailed images help in identifying issues such as bone fractures, tumors, enlarged organs, or foreign objects.
• Specialist Consultation: If needed, we can send the radiographs to veterinary radiology specialists for further interpretation, ensuring that your pet receives the most accurate assessment.

Ultrasound Imaging

In addition to X-rays, we offer ultrasound imaging for a more comprehensive view of your pet’s soft tissues. Ultrasound technology uses sound waves to create real-time images of organs and structures, providing valuable insights that X-rays cannot.

Benefits of Ultrasound:

• Dynamic Imaging: Unlike static X-rays, ultrasound allows us to observe moving parts in real-time, such as the beating heart or the movement of organs.
• Detailed Soft Tissue Examination: Ultrasound is particularly useful for detecting abnormalities in soft tissues, such as masses, tears in tendons, or internal injuries.

Comprehensive In-House Services

Our diagnostic imaging services are designed to provide you with a complete and convenient solution for your pet’s needs:

• In-House Expertise: Our skilled veterinarians are trained in interpreting digital X-rays and ultrasound images to diagnose and treat various conditions effectively.
• Telemedicine Radiology Consultations: For complex cases, we can employ telemedicine to consult with radiology specialists, ensuring that even the most challenging diagnoses are managed with the highest level of expertise.

Radiation Safety

While X-rays involve a very low dose of radiation, rest assured that the levels are minimal and safe for your pet. This includes pregnant pets, where X-rays can still be safely performed if needed, such as for determining the number of puppies or kittens.

At Animal Care Clinic, we are committed to using the latest technology to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. If you have any questions about our diagnostic imaging services or need to schedule an appointment, please contact us. We’re here to help with all your pet’s health needs.
