Injuries and Ailments Diagnosed via Radiology and Ultrasounds
Digital images, including ultrasounds and radiographs, are commonly to diagnose a variety of conditions and ailments in dogs and cats. When results are unclear or a pet's condition is unstable digital consult with Radiology specialists is available at Kansas City Animal Emergency.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging involves using sound waves to create an image on a computer monitor. Ultrasound imaging is painless and does not have any side-effects. Our staff is well experienced in Ultrasound imaging and routinely uses this valuable resource to diagnose everything from urinary stones to pericardial effusions.
Radiographs
The common term for a radiograph is an x-ray. These images can help diagnose problems and conditions with the bones and joints, such as broken bones, swelling in the joints and other types of bone abnormalities as well as many other conditions. X-rays can also be used to diagnose problems with the internal organs, like the heart, lungs, spleen, liver and kidneys.
