Pet X-Rays & Ultrasound
When pets can’t tell us what’s wrong, Companion Animal Hospital in Cameron Park, CA, gets a clear picture of the issue with advanced veterinary radiology and pet imaging services.
What Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound Include
Our modern imaging suite is equipped with digital X-ray and ultrasound technology that gives us a clear view of your pet’s internal structures without the need for invasive procedures. This allows us to detect and monitor conditions involving bones, organs, and soft tissue with precision and care.
Common uses for pet X-rays and ultrasounds include:
Bone and Joint Evaluation
Detects fractures, arthritis, and other orthopedic issues
Chest and Abdominal Imaging
Examines the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and digestive tract
Dental Assessment
Reveals hidden tooth root or jaw problems not visible during a routine dental exam
Pregnancy Detection
Safely monitors fetal development in expectant pets
Foreign Object Identification
Locates swallowed or embedded items for safe removal
We use a wide range of imaging technology to attain clear, precise answers, including digital pet X-rays and both dog ultrasound and cat ultrasound exams.
How Pet Imaging Works
Our imaging services help us look inside your pet’s body safely and non-invasively, providing detailed information about bones, organs, and soft tissues. This allows us to identify issues early, monitor ongoing conditions, and plan effective treatments without unnecessary stress or procedures.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital radiology system produces high-resolution images within seconds, minimizing your pet’s time on the table and reducing radiation exposure. This technology helps us visualize bones, joints, and certain internal organs clearly and efficiently.
Ultrasound (Dog and Cat)
After imaging, our veterinarians review the results with you in detail, explaining any findings and next steps for diagnosis or treatment. If needed, we can also share images with board-certified radiologists for further interpretation.
Why Veterinary Radiology Is Important
Pet imaging is one of the most effective diagnostic tools in modern veterinary medicine. It allows us to see what’s happening beneath the surface — helping detect tumors, injuries, fluid buildup, and other abnormalities before they worsen.
Using pet X-rays and vet ultrasounds, we can diagnose issues more accurately, begin treatment sooner, and monitor recovery with greater precision. This approach improves patient outcomes, minimizes unnecessary procedures, and provides pet owners with peace of mind.
