Veterinary Radiology in Monroeville
When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use radiology (x-rays) to help identify the cause of the problem, rule out possible problems, or provide a list of possible causes. We may also use x-rays during a wellness exam to diagnose potential problems before they become serious.
What Can an X-ray Help Identify?
X-rays provide valuable information about a pet’s:
- Bones
- Gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, and colon)
- Respiratory tract (lungs)
- Heart
- Genitourinary system (bladder and prostate)

We are proud to offer digital radiology (x-rays that are captured digitally rather than on film). This state-of-the-art technology allows us to provide you with a quicker diagnosis for your pet. Plus, it uses less radiation than traditional x-rays.
To avoid a blurry image, pets need to remain completely still while an x-ray is taken. In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia.
