Digital Radiology

Radiology / Pet X-Rays

X-rays can often be very beneficial in diagnosing and monitoring many medical and surgical conditions. Our clinic utilizes a Digital table top x-ray machine and dental x-ray machine. These machines give us the ability to take high quality radiographs.  We are able to change the settings on our machines to give us very detailed images, which allow us to get the most information from each radiograph that we take. Bones can be evaluated for fractures, growth and developmental problems, arthritis, and cancer. Soft tissues can be evaluated for tumors, heart and lung disease, changes in organ size or shape, the presence of abnormal air or fluid, and foreign bodies such as coins, fish hooks, string, and golf balls. Some conditions that can be diagnosed with dental x-rays are tooth root abscesses, retained or impacted teeth, broken tooth roots, jaw fractures, and bone infections or cancer.
