Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic Imaging

Fast, accurate and non-invasive

When an animal isn’t feeling well or is in pain, you need to investigate why. There might be an underlying problem such as a disease or growth that is causing the sickness. And that’s why we need to use diagnostic imaging.

Diagnostic imaging is completely non-invasive and it allows us to thoroughly examine specific areas of an animal’s body, especially internal organs. The high-clarity images allow us to see the precise problem and to make a precise diagnosis.

And the faster we can make the diagnosis, the faster we can begin treatment. Diagnosis is the crucial first step in getting your beloved pet back onto a better health path.

What is diagnostic imaging?

We have several ways to “image” various organs within the body. This includes traditional X-ray for bones and gas-filled spaces (i.e. the lungs), ultrasound for the abdomen and heart, and newer technology including CT for more advanced X-ray imaging.

We also use MRI which excels in soft tissue, particularly the brain.

Fluoroscopy is a source of continuous X-ray which is great for vessels, swallowing and breathing.

We use these imaging modalities for assistance with making a diagnosis for our patients.

Often we use a combination and may require various specialist input for each device.
