Veterinary Imaging

Diagnostic imaging gives us a clearer picture of your pet’s internal health without invasive procedures. At Shoreline Veterinary Hospital, we use modern imaging tools to evaluate bones, organs, and soft tissues, providing vital insights that guide diagnosis and treatment.

Radiology (Pet X-Rays)

Digital radiology allows us to capture detailed images of bones and internal structures quickly and safely. Pet X-rays are invaluable for diagnosing fractures, joint disease, foreign bodies, heart conditions, and more. With digital technology, images are clearer, and results are available faster than traditional film X-rays.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This non-invasive tool helps us assess the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and abdominal structures. It’s especially useful for detecting fluid, masses, or pregnancy. Our veterinarians use ultrasound to provide a more complete picture when physical exams and lab tests don’t tell the whole story.
