Pet Digital Radiology at Southdale Pet Hospital in Edina, MN

At Southdale Pet Hospital in Edina, MN, we know how important your pet’s health is to you. That’s why we offer advanced pet digital radiology services to help diagnose and treat your furry friends quickly and accurately, with minimal invasiveness.

Why Digital Radiology?

When it comes to figuring out what might be troubling your pet, X-rays are one of the most useful tools we have. Whether it’s identifying the cause of an issue, ruling out potential problems, or compiling a list of possible diagnoses, X-rays play a crucial role in our approach to personalized care. We also use them during routine wellness exams to catch potential issues before they become serious.

What Can X-Rays Reveal?

Digital radiology provides valuable insights into many parts of your pet’s body. It allows us to examine their bones, gastrointestinal tract (including the stomach, intestines, and colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder and prostate). This means we can spot fractures, blockages, infections, and other conditions that might be affecting your pet’s health.

The Benefits of Digital Radiology

Faster and Safer

Our digital radiology technology captures X-ray images digitally, which means we can diagnose your pet faster than with traditional film X-rays. This method also uses less radiation, making it safer for your pet.

Clearer Images

Digital radiology gives us clearer images, which helps our veterinarians make more accurate diagnoses. If necessary, we can instantly share these images with board-certified radiologists for further consultation.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s X-Ray

Pets need to stay completely still while an X-ray is taken to avoid blurry images. In some cases, we might need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia to ensure we get a clear picture. This process is safe and closely monitored by our experienced team.
