At Olde Naples Animal Wellness Center, we utilize advanced radiology tools to gain a clear picture of your pet’s health. Radiology allows us to see beneath the surface, providing valuable insights into your pet’s bones, organs, and tissues. This helps us diagnose injuries, detect diseases, and monitor your pet’s response to treatment.
Our Radiology Services:
Digital X-rays: We utilize digital radiography to capture high-quality images of your pet’s internal structures. This technology allows for quicker image processing, enhanced detail, and lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.
Dental X-rays: Dental X-rays help us evaluate your pet’s teeth and jaw, identifying issues like tooth root abscesses, fractures, and bone loss that may not be visible during a routine oral exam.
Ultrasound: Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This non-invasive procedure is particularly helpful for evaluating the heart, abdomen, and reproductive system.
When might your pet need radiology?
Radiology can be helpful in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including:
- Fractures and dislocations: X-rays can pinpoint the location and severity of bone injuries.
- Arthritis: Radiology can reveal changes in joints that indicate arthritis.
- Heart disease: X-rays and ultrasound can help evaluate heart size and function.
- Lung disease: X-rays can identify abnormalities in the lungs, such as pneumonia, tumors, or fluid buildup.
- Abdominal issues: X-rays and ultrasound can help diagnose problems with the liver, kidneys, intestines, bladder, and other abdominal organs.
- Pregnancy: Ultrasound can confirm pregnancy and monitor fetal development.
- Cancer: Radiology can help detect and stage cancerous tumors.
Our experienced veterinary team is trained in performing and interpreting radiographic images. We adhere to strict safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure for your pet and our staff.
