X-Ray & Ultrasound:

At Mercy Veterinary Clinic, our X-ray and Ultrasound services are essential diagnostic tools that help us evaluate your pet’s internal health with precision and detail.

### **X-ray (Radiography) Services:**
X-rays allow us to capture detailed images of your pet’s bones, joints, and internal organs. This non-invasive imaging technique is particularly useful for diagnosing:
– **Bone Fractures and Injuries:** Identifying breaks, fractures, and dislocations.
– **Joint Problems:** Detecting arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint issues.
– **Foreign Bodies:** Locating objects that your pet may have ingested or that are lodged within their body.
– **Dental Issues:** Assessing the health of teeth and jawbones.
– **Respiratory and Cardiovascular Concerns:** Evaluating the heart, lungs, and chest cavity for abnormalities.

### **Ultrasound Services:**
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs, making it a valuable tool for:
– **Abdominal Imaging:** Assessing the liver, kidneys, bladder, and other abdominal organs for tumors, stones, or other abnormalities.
– **Heart Evaluations (Echocardiograms):** Examining the heart’s structure and function to diagnose heart disease or other cardiac conditions.
– **Pregnancy Monitoring:** Visualizing and monitoring the development of fetuses in pregnant pets.
– **Guided Biopsies:** Assisting in the precise collection of tissue samples from organs or masses for further testing.
