Pet Radiology
When it comes to accurately diagnosing and treating your pet after they have experienced an injury or illness, you can count on our veterinary staff to have the expertise in using digital radiography and ultrasound machines for diagnosing.
Injuries and Ailments Diagnosed via Radiology and Ultrasounds
Digital images, including ultrasounds and radiography, are used to diagnose various conditions and ailments in dogs and cats. Common conditions diagnosed include broken bones, joint problems, tumors, and problems with the internal organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and bladder.
Diagnosing Your Pet’s Ailment or Injury
Radiology is one of the most important diagnostic modalities available to our veterinarians. Radiographs (X-rays) taken at Broadway Veterinary Hospital are interpreted on site. When the opinion of a specialist is needed, the films can be sent to a radiologist or an orthopedic surgeon for consultation. Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA) films can be performed and sent to OFA for certification.
Our veterinary staff can rapidly diagnose your pet’s injury or condition via X-rays and ultrasound imaging. Once Broadway Veterinary Hospital understands the depth of your pet’s illness or injury, a treatment plan will be developed in order to help your pet heal and get onto the road to recovery. If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s health and diagnosis, we would be happy to answer them and provide guidance to help make your pet comfortable during the healing process.

More about Pet Radiology
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create an image on a computer monitor. When our team passes the wand over an injured area of your pet, we can find otherwise hidden problems. Some of these problems could include your pet accidentally eating something that isn’t food, having a tumor, or having problems with an internal organ, like the stomach, spleen, liver, and pancreas. Ultrasound imaging is completely painless and does not have any side effects.
Radiographs
The common term for a radiograph is an X-ray. These images can help diagnose problems and conditions with your pet’s bones and joints. This can include broken bones, swelling in the joints, and other types of bone abnormalities. X-rays can also be used to diagnose problems with the internal organs, like the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys.
