In-House Radiology (X-Ray) Services

X-rays play a key role in diagnosing illnesses and injuries. With them, we can see what lies hidden below the surface of the skin. Nassau Veterinary Clinic is equipped with both a conventional x-ray machine and a special dental x-ray unit for oral radiography.

Radiographs help the veterinarian make diagnoses in many ways. We can identify:

  • Fractured bones
  • An enlarged heart
  • Fluid or air in the chest
  • Foreign objects in the body
  • Arthritis
  • Bladder stones
  • Abnormal growths or tumors

Dental radiography helps us diagnose tooth abscesses, retained teeth, and other painful conditions so the right decision can be made before any extractions are done. A high-quality processor enables us to have radiographs available for viewing within a few minutes.

Specialized Radiographic Techniques

Special radiographic techniques can also be performed using dyes or barium, which outline or reveal internal abnormalities. In some cases, human mammography films and cassettes are used, giving ultra-fine detail.

ECG to Diagnose Heart Disorders

If an examination or clinical history of your pet suggests a heart disorder, the first diagnostic step usually includes chest x-rays and an electrocardiogram, which may be referred to as an ECG or EKG. An ECG can be done quickly and easily during your visit to provide the doctor with information to best help your pet. In some cases, these tests will provide enough information to arrive at a diagnosis. In other cases, a cardiac ultrasound may be necessary to identify the disorders within the heart chambers themselves.
