Pet Digital Imaging
At PetCentre Animal Hospital, we use cutting-edge diagnostic tools to ensure your pet receives the most accurate care possible. Our pet imaging services—including veterinary radiology, pet X-rays, and ultrasound for dogs and cats—allow us to look below the surface to detect injuries, illnesses, and internal abnormalities quickly and non-invasively.
What Is Veterinary Digital Imaging?
Veterinary imaging refers to a range of technologies that help us see inside your pet’s body without surgery. At PetCentre Animal Hospital, we offer:
- Digital Radiography (X-rays): Captures high-resolution images of bones, joints, lungs, heart, and abdominal organs.
- Ultrasound Imaging: Uses sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and reproductive organs.
- Dental X-rays: Reveals disease or infection below the gumline during oral health evaluations.
Unlike traditional film-based methods, digital imaging delivers results in seconds, allows for precise magnification, and reduces the amount of radiation exposure to your pet. Our in-house equipment ensures that diagnostics are quick, convenient, and part of the same visit—no need to wait or travel to an outside facility.
Why Diagnostic Imaging Matters for Your Pet
Just like in human medicine, radiology and ultrasound imaging play a crucial role in diagnosing a wide variety of health concerns in pets. These tools allow us to:
- Detect fractures, tumors, bladder stones, and organ enlargement
- Monitor pregnancies or confirm internal injuries after trauma
- Identify heart or lung conditions like pneumonia or cardiomyopathy
- Assess chronic symptoms such as vomiting, coughing, limping, or difficulty urinating
Because dogs and cats can’t describe what they’re feeling, diagnostic imaging helps us interpret subtle signs of discomfort and reach an accurate diagnosis—often before more obvious symptoms arise. This is especially valuable in aging pets and those with underlying conditions.
Benefits of In-House Pet Imaging
Our state-of-the-art imaging capabilities provide major advantages for both pets and pet parents:
- Fast results: Real-time or same-day interpretation supports timely treatment
- Non-invasive: No incisions or recovery time required
- Comfort-focused: We use gentle handling and sedation only when necessary
- Integrated care: Imaging is part of your visit—no need to be referred elsewhere
- Better decision-making: Clear visuals help guide medical and surgical plans
Whether your dog is limping or your cat’s appetite has changed, imaging helps us uncover what’s going on—and how to help.
