Advanced Diagnostic Imaging for Pets
When pets are sick or injured, diagnostic imaging allows veterinarians to see beyond what can be detected during a physical examination. Digital X-rays and ultrasound are valuable, non-invasive tools that help identify a wide range of conditions affecting the bones, joints, chest, abdomen, and internal organs.
Â
At our Waterloo veterinary hospital, we use advanced imaging technology to evaluate everything from fractures and arthritis to heart disease, abdominal abnormalities, foreign bodies, bladder stones, and other medical concerns. Diagnostic imaging often plays a critical role in developing an accurate diagnosis and creating the most effective treatment plan for your pet.
