We have an ultrasound unit dedicated to thoracic and abdominal imaging. We use it to obtain urine samples to diagnose bladder infections, as well as visualize free fluid and large masses and tumors. |

X-Rays
We have the ability to take full body digital radiographs as well as specific dental digital radiographs. We routinely use these to visualize the heart, lungs, abdominal organs, bones, limbs and spine. The dental unit is used in conjunction with probing to determine the health of each individual tooth. |
