X-rays and Ultrasound Imaging

At PetSmart Veterinary Services, we understand the importance of accurate diagnostics in providing exceptional care for your pet. Our X-ray and ultrasound imaging services in Arizona offer non-invasive methods to precisely diagnose a range of conditions, from bone fractures to internal organ health, ensuring your pet receives the best possible treatment.

Our Approach

Advanced Imaging Technology: Our state-of-the-art X-ray and ultrasound equipment provides high-resolution images, allowing for detailed examination of internal structures. This technology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Expert Interpretation: Our skilled veterinarians are experts in interpreting imaging results, ensuring that diagnoses are accurate and comprehensive. When needed, we collaborate with radiology specialists for additional insight.

Minimally Invasive: Both X-rays and ultrasounds are non-invasive and painless, making them stress-free options for evaluating your pet's health. Ultrasound, in particular, does not require sedation, allowing for real-time assessment of the functioning of internal organs.

Comprehensive Care: Imaging services are integrated into your pet’s overall care plan, complementing other diagnostics such as blood tests to provide a complete picture of their health.

Benefits of X-rays and Ultrasound Imaging

Rapid Diagnosis: These imaging modalities enable quick identification of issues, allowing for timely treatment interventions.

Versatility: X-rays are excellent for assessing bone fractures, joint abnormalities, and certain lung conditions, while ultrasound is ideal for examining soft tissues, including the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Non-Invasive: With no need for incisions, these methods reduce the risk of complications and are generally well-tolerated by pets.

What to Expect

• Pre-Imaging Consultation: Our team will explain the process, how it contributes to diagnosing your pet’s condition, and any preparation needed.
• During the Procedure: Pets are gently positioned to obtain clear images. While X-rays are typically quick, ultrasounds may require more time for a thorough examination.
