What Is Radiology?
Radiology, also called x-rays, is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses low levels of radiation to create detailed images of the inside of your pet’s body. These images help us evaluate bones, joints, organs, and soft tissues that cannot be examined externally during a physical exam.
Digital radiographs are commonly used to diagnose and monitor a variety of health concerns, including:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Arthritis and joint disease
- Gastrointestinal blockages
- Pneumonia
- Bladder stones
- Certain tumors or masses
- Spinal abnormalities
- Chronic pain or mobility issues
Pet Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging tool that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and tissues. This advanced diagnostic technology allows us to evaluate structures that cannot be seen on standard X-rays, including the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, and heart.
At Animal Wellness Center of Danville, abdominal ultrasounds are performed by our board-certified veterinary radiologists, providing expert interpretation and highly detailed diagnostic information.
Benefits of Digital Radiology
Faster Results
Digital images are available within seconds, allowing our veterinarians to evaluate findings quickly and discuss results with you during your appointment whenever possible.
Improved Communication
Because digital images can be easily stored and shared, we can collaborate with veterinary specialists when needed and maintain accurate records of your pet’s health over time.
Better Monitoring of Ongoing Conditions
Radiographs are valuable not only for diagnosis but also for tracking healing and monitoring chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, or recovery after surgery.
