Belmont Animal Hospital Radiology Services

Veterinary diagnostic imaging is used to discover internal disease or injury. Belmont Animal Hospital guarantees the highest quality of care for our patients.

Radiographs, or X-rays, use electromagnetic radiation directed towards the body to highlight objects within. They can detect abnormalities including skeletal fractures, soft tissue damage, foreign bodies and dental disease.

Belmont Animal Hospital offers an on-site digital x-ray system that enables more thorough review of radiographs along with the ability to consult specialists over the internet. This process also significantly decreases radiation exposure to staff and patients due to the lower amount of radiation required for exposures and the elimination of retakes.

• Ultrasounds

Orthopedic radiographs and contrast studies require the patient remain completely still to work correctly, necessitating sedation in most cases. Some specialized procedures may require anesthesia. The duration of sedation or anesthesia is usually short and patient recovery is swift.
