Radiography is a simple, painless and non-invasive procedure that uses x-rays to produce images of a region of the body. Being Digital, the images are processed immediately meaning a shorter sedation/anaesthetic for your pet. Radiographs often complement the information already obtained in the pet’s history. These images can also be sent on to Veterinary Specialists to further diagnose difficult cases via email.

Patients are normally sedated to help them relax and allow proper positioning for the radiographs. For x-raying some regions of the skeleton that are painful such as the spine, or if fractures are suspected, a general anaesthetic will be required.
