Radiology

Radiology is a non-invasive way of peering inside your pet’s body to examine the bones and evaluate many organs.

At Orting Animal Hospital, we rely on radiology when diagnosing everything from injuries to pregnancies. Our digital x-ray equipment allows us to quickly capture detailed images. We are pleased to provide comprehensive radiology services for pets in Orting and the surrounding areas.

What Is Radiology?

Radiology refers to the process of using radiography to peer inside the body to reveal things that may not be detectable during a normal hands-on exam.

Radiographs – more commonly referred to as x-rays – show images of the body’s internal structures. These images are created using radiation. The amount of radiation a pet is exposed to during an exam is very low, though. In fact, the level of exposure is so low that radiology is perfectly safe even for very young pets and pregnant females.

Radiographs are often used to examine bones and ligaments to diagnose injuries. They are also widely used to assess the shape, size, and position of many organs, including the lungs, heart, and abdominal muscles. Our team also relies on radiology when diagnosing osteoarthritis, bladder stones, and a wide range of other conditions.
