We have invested in the very latest dedicated X-ray machine and digital processor to allow us to quickly get the highest quality images.  X-rays are particularly helpful for the assessment of trauma patients, chest and abdominal problems. 

We also have a high-end colour Doppler ultrasound unit.  ultrasound is particularly helpful at assessing heart and abdominal problems and diagnosing pregnancy.  Sometimes it is used as an aid in safely sampling tissue in a minimally invasive manner to provide a biopsy specimen for further analysis. 

Your pet may have an X-ray or ultrasound carried out consciously or under sedation or anaesthesia depending on the situation or your pet’s comfort.  The images are then assessed to help formulate a diagnosis.  Images can be sent to your pets’ records to help monitor disease.

Your vet will advise on the suitability and costs for any imaging undertaken.
