Imaging
X-Ray/Radiology

Radiology is becoming a routine procedure for confirming and diagnosing many diseases in small and large animals. X-Rays are used to contrast densities in order to determine abnormalities. Radiology is very important in veterinary practice due to the frequency of disorders and the increased emphasis placed on obtaining a correct and precise diagnosis.

Ultrasound is the use of sound waves, much like sonar, to outline organs and tissues in a noninvasive way. We have ultrasound equipment on site to allow us to make accurate and timely diagnoses for your pet.

The Video Vetscope is a tiny color video camera connected to a probe. It transmits color videos to a monitor. The camera may be used to better diagnose ear infections or blockages, pinpoint dental or throat conditions and/or other problems that might not be seen. It helps the doctor see what's happening and aids in diagnosing diseases.

The health and safety of your pet is our foremost concern. By testing blood chemistries, we can evaluate the status of your pet's major organs and provide an inside look at the blood itself. Testing on a regular basis lets us monitor your pet's health over its lifetime and enables us to detect any potential problems early on.

Telemedicine offers the most advanced and complete internal consultations. Medical images taken at our hospital are sent via the internet to specialists around the country. This saves you, the pet owner, time and money over making a separate trip to a far off specialist, where they would likely need to take additional images. Consultants can give our doctors and clients the fastest and most accurate expertise available.

Teleradiology uses X-Ray scanners and the internet to send X-Ray images to radiologists for interpretation These specialists then send back a diagnosis to our hospital and recommend treatments.

Telecytology allows images of microscopic cells to be sent to a cytopathologist. high-resolution digital camera is connected to a microscope in order to achieve this. Biopsies reveal much about the condition of your pet, and they are both inexpensive and minimally invasive. The use of cytology has become even more effective with Telemedicine.

Telesonography captures images directly from the ultrasound device and sends them to a specialist. Where ultrasounds are relatively new to most of the veterinary world, telesonography allows diagnostic images of your pet to be read by doctors with years of experience.
