Pet Diagnostics

Diagnostics lies at the heart of veterinary medicine, because our patients can’t speak up for themselves. Our diagnostic tools help us take steps to solve any mysteries that surround your pet’s health and obtain useful information that we can use to make an accurate diagnosis. Here in Cary, our team is dedicated to finding answers to all your questions, and customizing a treatment plan that includes the best combination of tests for your pet and your budget.

Digital X-Ray vs. Film X-Ray

Digital X-ray is a safer, more efficient alternative to film X-ray.

• No film slides, developers or fixers need to be used in the process
• Digital X-ray uses much less radiation
• Because the procedure is quicker, your pet will not need to be kept on the X-ray table for long
• We can produce sharper, higher-contrast images of the bones and organs
• X-ray images can be sent via email to other veterinarians, specialists, and emergency hospitals when needed
