Pet X-Rays & Ultrasound
When your pet isn’t feeling well, Atwater Veterinary Center works to find clear answers that guide the right care. With advanced veterinary radiology, we can identify conditions quickly and with precision.
What Is Veterinary Imaging?
Veterinary imaging refers to non-invasive diagnostic tools that allow us to view your pet’s internal organs, bones, and tissues. The two most common methods are:
- X-Rays (Radiographs): Excellent for evaluating bones, joints, and internal organs.
- Ultrasound: Ideal for soft tissue imaging, including the liver, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive organs.

Why Imaging Matters
Pets can’t tell us where it hurts. Diagnostic imaging helps us detect injuries and illnesses early — often before symptoms are visible. This allows for more effective treatment, faster healing, and better outcomes overall.
What to Expect
Depending on your pet’s condition, we may recommend one or both imaging options:
- Digital X-Rays: Quick, clear images with less radiation exposure than traditional film.
- Vet Ultrasound: Gentle, real-time imaging using sound waves — often done while your pet is awake or lightly sedated.
Imaging is often used for diagnosing:
- Lameness or fractures
- Abdominal discomfort
- Heart murmurs or cardiac concerns
- Foreign body ingestion
- Cancer screening
- Reproductive issues
