At Cameron Veterinary Clinic in Santa Fe, NM, we are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical technology. Radiology (aka x-rays) is a technique and diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in a completely non-invasive way. X-rays allow us to create images of all the body’s organs, bones, and joints. X-rays show us silhouettes of the body’s organs on the screen. In other words, the use of radiology gives us a view of the internal organs in your pet’s body that we otherwise could not see. It’s an important diagnostic tool that helps veterinarians detect and prevent illness. Many times, x-rays will be used in conjunction with ultrasound to fully understand your pet’s problem with speed and no pain.
Our state-of-the-art, digital x-ray technology allows us to take images with minimal radiation exposure and very quick results. Taking x-rays is painless and requires minimal restraint of your pet by our trained technicians. X-ray images are seen by our doctors within minutes of taking them, providing a very rapid diagnosis. If a second opinion by a board-certified veterinary radiologist is necessary, it can be obtained quickly with the click of a button and the radiologist sees the same high-quality images that we took at the clinic. Digital x-ray also allows us to easily share the images with other colleagues if your pet is being transferred to another clinic for specialized care or you are moving.
The use of radiology is safe and our entire staff is highly trained. It is our goal to provide your pet with the highest level of medical care possible, and this is just one of the many ways we achieve that.
