Diagnostic Imaging

Digital X-Rays & Ultrasound

At Airport Animal Emergi-Center, we understand that accurate and timely diagnosis is essential in an emergency situation. That’s why we offer advanced diagnostic imaging services to quickly assess and identify your pet’s health issues. Our cutting-edge technology and skilled veterinary team ensure that we can provide the precise care your pet needs when it matters most. 

Why Diagnostic Imaging Matters 

Diagnostic imaging is a critical tool in veterinary medicine, particularly in emergency cases where time is of the essence. These non-invasive techniques allow us to visualize the internal structures of your pet’s body, helping to detect injuries, illnesses, and abnormalities that might not be visible through a physical examination alone. 

Our Advanced Imaging Services 

We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging services, including: 

• Digital X-Rays: Our digital radiography equipment provides high-resolution images that allow our veterinarians to quickly assess bone fractures, lung and heart conditions, foreign objects, and more. Digital X-rays are faster than traditional methods, reducing stress for your pet and allowing for immediate evaluation. 
• Ultrasound: This imaging technique uses sound waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and blood flow within your pet’s body. Ultrasound is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions related to the abdomen, heart, and reproductive system, as well as guiding certain procedures like fluid drainage or biopsies. 

How Diagnostic Imaging Works 

When your pet is brought in for an emergency, our team may recommend diagnostic imaging based on their symptoms and initial examination. The process is safe, quick, and minimally invasive, ensuring your pet’s comfort while providing us with the vital information we need to make an accurate diagnosis. 

In many cases, sedation or anesthesia may be used to keep your pet calm and still during the imaging process, ensuring the clearest possible images. Our veterinary team will monitor your pet closely throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and well-being. 

Immediate Results for Prompt Care 

One of the key advantages of our in-house diagnostic imaging services is the ability to obtain and interpret results quickly. Our veterinarians can review the images immediately, allowing for fast decision-making and the prompt initiation of treatment. This rapid turnaround is crucial in emergency situations, where every second counts.
