Radiology

Radiographs are created by electromagnetic radiation. We use this technology to image the bones, joints, and soft tissue of the body. Bones appear white, air and fluid are black, and soft tissue appear as different shades of gray. In essence, radiographs are "x-ray vision." Radiographs are an important, noninvasive method of diagnosing the extent of injuries to bones, the size of organs, the presence of a mass, stones in the urinary tract or foreign objects in the intestines. It allows veterinarians to make decisions regarding the most appropriate therapy for your pet.
