Pet Digital X-rays: Clear Answers for Better Care
When your pet isn’t feeling their best—or something just doesn’t seem quite right—getting a clear look inside can make all the difference. At Animal Medical Center of Troy, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to get fast, detailed images of your pet’s internal organs and structures. These images help us spot things we can’t see during a physical exam, so we can get answers quickly and start the right treatment.
What Are Digital X-rays, and How Do They Help?
Digital X-rays allow us to examine your pet’s bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, and more—all without any invasive procedures. The process is simple and gentle: your pet lies still for just a few moments while a low-dose X-ray beam creates high-resolution images. Because the results are instant, we can begin evaluating your pet’s condition right away.
This tool is especially helpful for spotting:
- Bone fractures or joint issues
- Digestive problems (like blockages or bloat)
- Heart and lung conditions
- Bladder stones or kidney issues
- Signs of chronic diseases
When Might My Pet Need X-rays?
We may recommend digital X-rays if your pet is experiencing:
- Injury or trauma (like limping, swelling, or a fall)
- Chronic symptoms such as ongoing coughing, vomiting, or weight loss
- Breathing issues or unusual sounds in the chest
- Pre-surgical evaluation, to give us a better understanding of what’s happening internally
- Ongoing condition monitoring, to track changes or recovery over time
Even if your pet seems fine on the outside, X-rays can often reveal hidden issues we wouldn’t otherwise detect.
Why Digital X-rays Are a Safer, Smarter Choice
We use digital—not film—X-ray equipment because it’s:
- Fast: We can view images immediately and make quicker decisions.
- Detailed: Digital images show more clarity and contrast, making it easier to detect subtle changes.
- Lower in radiation: The technology uses significantly less radiation than traditional methods, improving safety for your pet.
- Easy to share: We can store, compare, and share images digitally for continuity of care.
