What Is Diagnostic Imaging?
Diagnostic imaging refers to noninvasive techniques that allow veterinarians to visualize your pet’s organs, bones, and internal structures. These tools help us detect injuries, illnesses, and abnormalities that may not be visible during a physical exam.
At Animal Health and Wellness, we offer a full range of imaging technologies to support fast answers and precise treatment planning.

Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues and internal organs. It is painless, safe, and extremely useful for evaluating:
• Abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bladder
• Heart structure and function
• Pregnancy monitoring
• Masses, cysts, and fluid buildup
• Inflammation or internal changes not visible on X-ray
Ultrasound helps us diagnose complex conditions with precision and without sedation in most cases.
When Does Your Pet Need Diagnostic Imaging?
Your veterinarian may recommend imaging if your pet is experiencing:
- Lameness or difficulty moving
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite changes
- Coughing or breathing problems
- Urinary concerns or increased drinking/urination
- Abdominal swelling
- Dental pain or oral issues
- Trauma, falls, or suspected injury
- Unexplained weight loss
- Signs of discomfort with no clear cause
Imaging is also helpful for routine senior care, preventive screening, and monitoring chronic conditions.
