Taking a Look Inside Pet X-rays
How Do Pet X-Rays Work?
X-rays, or radiographs, are a type of electromagnetic radiation that, when directed toward the body, can produce images of the internal structures. This technology allows your veterinarian to visualize bones, certain organs, and other internal features with incredible detail. The process is fast, non-invasive, and painless for your pet, providing us with invaluable information that might not be apparent from a physical examination alone.
Are X-Rays Safe for Pets?
While X-rays are incredibly beneficial, we understand your pet’s safety is important. Modern X-ray equipment is designed to minimize radiation exposure, focusing the beam only on the area of interest and reducing the risk to surrounding tissues. Additionally, the exposure time is brief, further limiting potential harm.
When to Use X-Ray Technology
X-rays can clearly show bone breaks, aiding in the proper setting and healing process.
X-ray imaging can detect conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other degenerative diseases.
X-rays can help us locate the object and determine the best course of action if your pet has swallowed something it shouldn’t have.
Radiographs can also provide some information about the size, shape, and position of certain organs, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like heart disease, lung issues, or abdominal problems.
