Radiography (X-ray)

Radiography is still one of the main modalities used in veterinary imaging. Our images are taken by experienced radiographers and processed using a Fuji CR system which produces high quality digital images. These are read and reported by specialist veterinary radiologists.

A range of contrast studies are regularly performed including intravenous urography, retrograde urinary tract studies, oesophageal studies, myelography, arthrography and portovenography. Where appropriate, these can be evaluated in ‘real time’ using fluoroscopy.

 

Hip dysplasia is a common condition affecting many medium size and large breed juvenile dogs. The disease is associated with soft tissue laxity of the hips that results in subluxation of the joints. Some affected dogs are candidates for surgical management of their condition.
