Our modern x-ray equipment and facilities provide excellent diagnostic quality radiographic films to assist in diagnosing your pet’s health problems. One of our veterinarians, Dr Leszek Mos, holds a Master’s degree in veterinary medicine with an emphasis on radiology and has a special interest in radiology. He regularly attends the International Veterinary Radiology Association conferences around the world and attended the 2006 congress at Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
The Mt Lawley & Inglewood Vet Centre recently acquired a new Digital X-ray Unit that converts the radiograph to a digital picture.This negates the need for chemical developing and the images can be enlarged on screen to assess the image more closely.
Ultrasonography is an excellent non-invasive imaging technique that complements x-rays. It allows veterinarians to better visualize internal organs in greater detail. An ultrasound is normally performed on your pet without any sedation or with minimal sedation and is a completely painless procedure. An ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) is particularly important for diagnosing heart conditions and for making treatment decisions. Ultrasonography of your pet can be arranged to be performed at either of our veterinary centres by a veterinary ultrasound specialist from Diagnostic Veterinary Imaging (DVI).
