Pet Radiology
Advanced Pet Radiology in Sand Springs, OK
When your pet is sick or injured, getting a fast, accurate diagnosis is the most important step toward getting them back on their paws. At McKinney Animal Hospital, we utilize advanced pet radiology (X-ray) services to provide a clear, non-invasive look inside your pet’s body. Since 1984, our experienced team has provided the highest level of veterinary care to the pets of Sand Springs and Green Country, combining decades of diagnostic expertise with modern imaging technology to deliver the finest and most compassionate care.
The Advantage of Digital X-Ray Technology
To exceed the expectations of our clients and provide the best possible outcomes, we have invested in a state-of-the-art digital radiology system. Unlike older film-based methods, digital X-rays offer significant advantages for your pet’s diagnosis and safety.
Benefits of our digital X-ray services include:
- Superior Image Quality: Digital images are incredibly sharp and detailed, allowing our veterinarians to make more precise and confident diagnoses.
- Rapid Results: Images are captured and available for review within seconds. This speed is crucial in emergencies and reduces the time your pet spends at our hospital.
- Enhanced Patient Safety: Our modern system uses significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays, making the procedure safer for your pet.
- Easy Collaboration: Digital images can be easily shared electronically with specialists for consultation if a second opinion is needed, ensuring comprehensive care.
What Can Pet Radiology Help Us Diagnose?
Veterinary X-rays are a painless and powerful tool that gives our team invaluable information about a wide range of health conditions. We commonly use pet radiology to evaluate:
- Orthopedic Conditions: Identifying bone fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and developmental issues like hip dysplasia.
- Chest and Lung Issues: Assessing the size and shape of the heart and evaluating the lungs for signs of pneumonia, asthma, or other conditions.
- Abdominal Problems: Locating and identifying foreign objects your pet may have swallowed, diagnosing bladder stones, or assessing the size of internal organs.
- Dental Disease: Revealing painful problems hidden below the gumline, such as tooth root abscesses or bone loss.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s X-Ray
We understand that you may feel anxious when your pet needs a diagnostic procedure. Our compassionate team is committed to making the X-ray process as quick and stress-free as possible.
The procedure itself is completely painless. For most X-rays, your pet will be positioned gently on the table by our skilled technicians while the image is taken. In some cases, to get the clearest possible image, we may recommend a mild sedative. This is not for pain, but to help an anxious or uncomfortable pet relax and remain perfectly still, ensuring we get a high-quality diagnostic image on the first try.
