X-Rays & Ultrasounds for Pets in Stillwater
Just like in human medicine, diagnostic imaging gives veterinarians a deeper understanding of what’s happening inside your pet’s body. While physical exams and lab tests provide essential information, imaging lets us assess bones, joints, organs, and soft tissues in real time, often leading to faster, more accurate answers.
Digital X-Rays
Our high-resolution digital radiography system allows us to quickly capture detailed images of your pet’s bones and internal structures. X-rays are commonly used to detect fractures, joint problems (like arthritis or hip dysplasia), dental disease, bladder stones, and signs of heart or lung abnormalities. Digital technology gives us clear results instantly, without the long wait times or higher radiation levels of traditional film X-rays.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. It’s a safe, noninvasive tool for evaluating the abdominal organs, like the liver, spleen, kidneys, and intestines, checking for fluid buildup or masses, and guiding biopsies when needed. Unlike X-rays, which show structure, ultrasound shows motion, such as the way blood flows through the heart or how the bladder empties.
Echocardiograms with a Traveling Cardiologist
For pets with suspected heart conditions, we partner with a trusted traveling veterinary cardiologist who visits our Stillwater animal hospital to perform echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds). These advanced scans allow for detailed assessment of the heart’s function, structure, and blood flow, helping us diagnose murmurs, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and other cardiac concerns. We also utilize teleradiology services to consult with board-certified radiologists and cardiologists, ensuring every case benefits from expert interpretation and collaborative insight.
