Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound – Prairieville Animal Hospital

Veterinarians rely on diagnostic tools to aid in the evaluation of hidden problems. We have an in-house radiology unit and film processor. The film is developed and interpreted by our Veterinarians immediately. We also have the capability to digitize these films to consult with board-certified radiologists on more unusual cases. We are often able to radiograph our patients without the use of anesthesia; however, there are times when sedation is required.

Ultrasound is a modern, non-invasive technology that allows our veterinarians to obtain a detailed image of internal organs which is not possible with traditional radiographs. It also allows us a relatively non-invasive means of obtaining fine needle aspirates and biopsies using ultrasound as a guide. These tests are key in diagnosing masses and conditions such as hepatitis and lymphoma.
