What Is Whole-Body X-Ray Imaging?

Whole-body digital X-ray technology offers a noninvasive option for evaluating your pet's bones and internal organs. Our state-of-the-art unit captures high-quality digital images, providing us with a wealth of diagnostic information without surgery or incisions.

X-ray imaging helps us identify fractures and bone injuries, diagnose joint and bone diseases, detect foreign objects, and evaluate your pet's vital organs, like the heart and lungs. It also helps plan for surgery, determine how fractures are healing, and monitor how a treatment is working over time.

What Is Fast Scan Ultrasound Imaging?

Fast Scan (focused assessment with sonography for trauma) ultrasound imaging is a quick and noninvasive diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to provide us with a closer look at your pet's internal structures. It helps us identify fluid in the abdomen, the chest cavity, and around the lungs and heart.

Fast Scans are particularly helpful in emergency situations when a pet may be experiencing internal bleeding or other trauma. They help us evaluate organ bleeding, blood vessel rupture, and more. Ultrasound imaging is also beneficial during routine exams, in preparation for surgery, and for monitoring sick animals. It allows for early detection of potential concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed.
