Pet X-Ray
High-Resolution Pet X-Ray Services in Mundelein, IL
When a pet is injured or ill, seeing what is happening beneath the surface is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment. At Vernon Hills Animal Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art Pet X-Ray (radiography) equipment to provide exceptional pet diagnostic imaging that Mundelein pet owners can rely on.
Our use of veterinary digital radiography provides immediate, high-resolution images, which allows our expert team to make fast, authoritative decisions, especially important during a pet trauma assessment.
The Versatility of Veterinary Digital Radiography
Pet X-Ray is a non-invasive tool essential for evaluating a wide range of conditions across all our services:
- Orthopedic Assessment: Locating fractures, diagnosing joint diseases (like hip dysplasia), and evaluating soft tissue surrounding bones.
- Internal Medicine Diagnostics: Assessing the size and shape of internal organs (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver), vital for diagnosis during Annual Pet Wellness Exams or acute illness.
- Foreign Body Detection: Quickly identifying if your pet has swallowed an object that is causing an obstruction.
- Chest and Abdominal Screening: Evaluating heart size for conditions like congestive heart failure or looking for internal masses (which may require General Pet Surgery).
Benefits of Digital Vet X-Ray Services
Traditional film-based X-rays are becoming obsolete. Our digital system offers substantial advantages:
- Clarity and Detail: Digital images provide greater contrast and clarity, allowing us to see subtle abnormalities.
- Speed: Images appear instantly on the computer screen, leading to a quicker diagnosis and reduced stress for your pet.
- Remote Consultation: Images can be electronically shared with specialists for immediate consultation.
- Reduced Exposure: Digital systems require less radiation exposure than older film technology.
