Diagnostic Imaging: X-Ray and Ultrasound

Pet diagnostic imaging involves using various techniques to create visual representations of the internal structures of your pet’s body. These imaging modalities include X-rays and ultrasounds. These tools enable our veterinary team to examine bones, organs, and tissues, aiding in the identification of potential health issues.

Our doctor is experienced in reading X-rays, so an immediate diagnosis is likely. Radiological consults are available through an outside specialist on more challenging cases and can be accomplished quickly with electronic transmission of the digital X-ray image via a computer.

Our doctor has specialized training in performing and interpreting ultrasounds. At Treehouse Animal Hospital, all our ultrasounds are performed and diagnosed by the doctor, resulting in a more comprehensive evaluation with immediate results.

Endoscopy

Our veterinary team has received specialized training to offer this valuable diagnostics and therapeutic tool. Endoscopy allows us to visualize and assess various body systems to diagnose gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory diseases, and certain cancers. Endoscopy is also used to perform procedures such as removing foreign objects from the stomach, taking biopsies of the intestinal tract, removing polyps and tumors, and placing feeding tubes. These interventions can be done without open surgery, reducing the risk associated with more invasive procedures.
