Companion Pet Clinic employs advanced imaging technologies guaranteeing the highest quality care for our patients.
Radiographs, or X-rays, use electromagnetic radiation directed towards the body to highlight objects within. They can detect abnormalities including skeletal fractures, foreign bodies and dental disease. Digital X-rays also use less radiation, decrease exposure, and provide more detailed images.
Orthopedic radiographs and contrast studies require the patient remain completely still to work correctly, necessitating sedation in most cases. Some specialized procedures may require anesthesia. The duration of sedation or anesthesia is usually short and patient recovery is swift.
