X-Ray (Radiology) Services

During the vet’s examination of the patient, radiology images may be required to aid in the diagnosis of an animal’s problems. Our pets can’t tell us where it hurts, so radiology imaging allows Dr. Boersma to analyze and view the skeleton and internal organs to detect abnormalities like fractures, foreign bodies, masses, fluids, or gas. Radiology is also used as a tool before and after surgery to check the alignment of joints or placement of orthopaedic implants.

Radiographs are performed in our surgical theatre. If the animal is calm, we can take images without sedation. Usually, sedation and anaesthesia are required to help them relax so we can take a clear image.

Once the radiograph is taken, we will explain our interpretation of the image immediately.

If required, the images can be emailed to a specialist veterinarian or surgeon for a second opinion.
