Pet Diagnostic Imaging in Alexandria, VA
It is difficult to see your pet in pain or suffering while being unable to diagnose the issue. Our team at Alexandria Animal Hospital of Fort Hunt offers modern internal diagnostics to enable us to identify the issue and make a precise diagnosis. A speedier diagnosis results in a faster recovery! We perform diagnostic testing both internally and with a third-party lab so that we can deliver results right away.
Radiology
A radiograph, often known as an X-ray, is a sort of image that provides information about the inside of the body that may not be seen from the outside. Your pet’s bones, as well as internal organs, including the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, can be examined with radiography. Radiology can be a very helpful diagnostic tool when it comes to precisely diagnosing your cat.
Digital X-rays are frequently employed to diagnose and assess broken bones, blockages, arthritis, lumps, and cancers. Digital X-rays are also used to confirm pregnancies and find things ingested.
Ultrasound
Similar to radiography (X-rays), ultrasonography is a diagnostic imaging method that is frequently used in conjunction with radiography and other diagnostics. It enables us to see the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, bladder, spleen, and intestines in great detail. Pregnancy monitoring and detection are additional uses for it. We collaborate closely with experts who have devoted their entire careers to imaging so you can benefit fully from this wonderful diagnostic tool.
