Advanced Pet Digital Radiology Services in Houston, TX
Pet digital X-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, providing valuable information to help diagnose a range of medical conditions. X-rays for cats and dogs capture images of the pet’s body using a small amount of radiation, producing more precise and sharper images than traditional X-rays.
Digital X-Rays: Advancing Veterinary Diagnosis
Tanglewilde Veterinary Clinic strives to provide the best veterinary services available. We proudly offer advanced digital X-ray technology as an essential component of our in-house diagnostic services. Many medical conditions cause similar symptoms in pets, and digital X-rays (digital radiographs) help our veterinarians determine the exact cause of a patient’s illness without requiring invasive exploratory surgery.
What is a Radiograph?
A radiograph is an image produced of a pet’s internal structures (bones, organs, and other soft tissues) using high-energy X-rays. Veterinarians use radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of diseases and other medical conditions, such as:
- Arthritis
- Musculoskeletal problems
- Cancer, growths, and tumors
- Heart disease
- Injuries
- Gastrointestinal diseases
- Ingested objects
- Dental disease
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
- Speed: Digital X-rays offer faster results compared to traditional film X-rays, reducing the time pets need to remain still during the procedure.
- Safety: With shorter exposure times, digital X-rays minimize your pet’s exposure to radiation, ensuring their safety.
- Accuracy: Digital X-rays produce detailed images that can be manipulated to enhance visibility, leading to more accurate diagnoses.
- Convenience: Digital X-ray images can be easily stored, shared, and transmitted to specialists for further evaluation, streamlining the diagnostic process.
