​Digital Radiography (X-rays)

Painless and noninvasive, radiographs are a crucial tool to diagnose several problems which may be causing distress to your pet. The amount of radiation exposure used to perform x-rays is extremely low so safe for even young or pregnant animals. We offer exclusively digital radiographs, so results take less than 20 minutes. Digital radiography uses an electronic sensor instead of film to produce an image which can be viewed and stored on a computer. Digital radiography is great for monitoring the healing progress in a broken bone, after an orthopedic repair, or to evaluate a pet’s musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems. This advanced x-ray technology produces more detailed images and exposes the patient to minimal doses of radiation. Our modern x-ray equipment provides high-quality radiographs to help identify the cause and extent of an illness or injury to a pet.

At Animal Health Center we now offer portable digital radiography for our patients that cannot be placed onto the radiology table, such as equine patients.
