What Is Veterinary Radiology?
Radiology uses safe, low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of your pet’s bones and internal organs. Unlike ultrasound, which shows soft tissues in motion, X-rays capture still images that are especially useful for:
- Evaluating bones and joints
- Detecting fractures or injuries
- Detecting obvious tumors
- Diagnosing lung or heart conditions
- Identifying bladder stones or foreign objects
- Assessing dental structures and oral health
At Kind Vet, we use digital radiology, which provides faster results, higher-quality images, and less radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays.
Conditions Diagnosed with Radiology
Radiology helps us evaluate a wide range of issues, including:
- Bone Fractures & Injuries: Identifying broken bones, sprains, or joint abnormalities.
- Arthritis & Joint Disease: Detecting degenerative changes and helping manage chronic pain.
- Heart & Lung Conditions: Assessing heart size, fluid in the lungs, or respiratory illness.
- Tumors: Detecting abnormal growths that may require further evaluation.
- Digestive Issues: Locating foreign objects or blockages in the stomach or intestines.
- Urinary Problems: Identifying bladder stones or abnormalities.
- Dental Concerns: Revealing tooth root abscesses or jaw problems.
