Pet Radiology & Ultrasound
Our team at Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton utilizes the latest veterinary radiology and pet imaging technology, including pet X-rays and ultrasound imaging services, to diagnose and monitor a wide range of medical conditions with precision.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Imaging Appointment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities during every imaging procedure. For pet X-rays, our team may gently position your pet to capture clear, detailed images of the area being examined. Sedation is rarely needed but can be used if your pet is especially anxious or in pain.
For dog and cat ultrasound exams, a trained technician or veterinarian applies a gentle gel to your pet’s skin and uses a handheld probe to create live images of the internal organs. In some cases, a small area of fur may be shaved to improve image quality. This non-invasive procedure is generally well-tolerated, and while most pets remain comfortable with minimal handling, light sedation may occasionally be recommended to help them stay relaxed. Ultrasound provides valuable insights into your pet’s health and supports early detection of potential concerns.
Our experienced staff reviews all imaging results promptly and discusses findings with you before recommending next steps.
What is Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound?
Veterinary radiology encompasses imaging tools, such as X-rays and ultrasound, that help diagnose internal conditions without the need for surgery. These technologies allow veterinarians to view your pet’s bones, organs, and soft tissues in remarkable detail.
- Pet X-rays are used to detect fractures, arthritis, tumors, and foreign objects.
- Vet ultrasounds create real-time images of the abdomen, heart, and other organs — ideal for diagnosing pregnancy, internal bleeding, or organ abnormalities.
At Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton, our pet imaging services combine advanced equipment with skilled interpretation from our veterinary team, ensuring fast, accurate results to guide your pet’s care.
Why Pet Imaging Is Important
Advanced imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions. From identifying broken bones to assessing heart and abdominal health, veterinary radiology helps us find answers without delay.
Early detection through pet X-rays and vet ultrasound can prevent complications, reduce pain, and improve treatment outcomes. These tools also allow us to monitor chronic conditions, evaluate treatment progress, and plan for surgeries with greater precision.
