Pet Imaging ServicesRadiology & Ultrasound
Our hospital offers cutting-edge veterinary imaging tools to visualize what can’t be seen through a physical exam alone. These technologies give us a clearer picture of your pet’s internal health, aiding in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Digital Radiography (Pet X-Rays)
Oakwood uses advanced digital (CR) radiography for both full-body and dental imaging. These X-rays offer detailed insights into:
- Bones and joints
- Chest and lungs
- Heart and abdomen
- Dental structures (teeth, roots, jaw)
Digital images are available instantly and can be shared electronically with specialists for second opinions, helping to streamline your pet’s care.
Pet Ultrasound
When soft tissue structures need to be examined, ultrasound provides real-time, non-invasive internal imaging. We use ultrasound to assess:
- Abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, bladder, etc.)
- Cardiac health
- Masses or fluid buildup
- Pregnancy monitoring
For more complex cases, we partner with a traveling Internal Medicine specialist who performs advanced diagnostic procedures—such as detailed abdominal ultrasound and endoscopy—right here at Oakwood.
