Diagnostic imaging

Veterinary diagnostic imaging encompasses advanced non-invasive techniques used to visualize an animal’s internal anatomy and establish an accurate diagnosis. It primarily includes digital radiography (X-rays), ultrasound, and advanced imaging modalities depending on clinic capabilities.

Diagnostic imaging includes non-invasive exams such as digital X-rays (radiography) and ultrasound that allow veterinarians to view the inside of an animal’s body to reach an accurate diagnosis.
The most common imaging exams are digital X-rays (radiography), abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds (echocardiography), and specialized advanced modalities depending on the facility’s equipment.
Imaging is recommended in cases of acute or localized pain, traumatic injury, suspected bone fractures, persistent vomiting, unexplained lumps or masses, and internal health concerns.
The pet is positioned appropriately to obtain a precise image of the bones or organs. The examination is quick and generally painless.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to visualize internal organs in real time, without radiation, and allows soft tissues to be examined.
No, X-rays and ultrasound are safe techniques. X-ray doses are carefully controlled, and ultrasound is completely non-invasive.
Not always. Light sedation may be needed if the animal is stressed or must remain perfectly still, particularly for certain X-rays.
No, but it allows many internal abnormalities to be visualized and is often complemented by lab tests for a complete diagnosis.
It allows for an accurate diagnosis, helps guide treatment quickly, and improves the animal's chances of recovery.
