Digital X-ray imaging is an important diagnostic tool used to examine internal structures that cannot be fully assessed through a physical examination alone. It can help veterinarians investigate injuries, changes in mobility, respiratory concerns and other clinical problems.
At Metro Pet Hospital, your veterinarian will assess your pet and determine whether X-ray imaging is appropriate. The images are considered alongside your pet's symptoms, medical history and physical examination to help guide diagnosis and treatment.
Digital Imaging for Veterinary Care
X-rays can provide useful images of bones and joints and can also assist in evaluating areas such as the chest and abdomen. Depending on the clinical situation, one or more views may be recommended to obtain the information needed for assessment.
Our veterinary team will explain the recommended imaging procedure and any preparation required for your pet before the examination.
