Pet Radiology
Radiography, also known as x-rays, is one of the most common and valuable medical diagnostic tools. X-rays are highly useful for screening areas of the body that have contrasting tissue densities or when evaluating solid tissues.
WHY WOULD MY PET NEED X-RAYS?
If your pet is sick or has suffered a trauma, x-rays provide a minimally invasive tool to help our doctor diagnose your pet at Three Bridges Veterinary Hospital. X-rays are also used in general wellness exams to diagnose potential problems before they become serious.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasonography is a type of diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce an imaging study. This means that when we perform ultrasonography, we can see internal images of the patient’s body. Unlike some other imaging studies, like x-rays, ultrasonography does not use radiation. Instead, ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound (ultrasound) waves to create a picture of what is inside your pet’s body. Ultrasonography is a completely non-invasive, painless way to diagnose and evaluate many common diseases.
