Pet Imaging
Veterinary X-Ray (Radiography)
Radiology is a non-painful, non-invasive diagnostic tool that can be extremely useful when dealing with sick or injured animals. Our in-house pet imaging equipment allows us to quickly evaluate your pet to help determine the cause of his or her individual problem. In a matter of minutes, we are able to diagnose numerous conditions and disease processes such as:
- Gastrointestinal foreign object obstructions
- Fractures
- Hip or Elbow Dysplasia
- Developmental abnormalities
- Neoplastic processes or cancer
- Pregnancy
- Heart Failure
- Pneumonia
- Abdominal Cavity Infections
- Megaesophagus
We have weekly rounds with a board certified radiologist to insure our veterinarians make the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet.
Veterinary Ultrasound
Every week, Central Houston Animal Hospital has an in-house board certified radiologist to perform our animal ultrasounds. This non-invsive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. We also have the capability for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates; biopsies; thoracocentesis; abdominocentesis and cystocentesis. Pregnancy exams are also available. With veterinary ultrasound, we can diagnose many animal diseases such as:
- Neoplasia or cancer
- Cushings Disease
- Heart Failure
- Pleural effusion
- Abdominal effusion
- Lung torsion
- Foreign objects
- Cholangiohepatitis
- Portosystemic Shunts
