Why Radiographs Are Important

Check the size, shape, and position of organs

Evaluate bones and joints

Detect fractures, foreign objects, or tumors

Assess dental health and tooth roots

Screen for heart and lung conditions

Unlike ultrasound, which focuses on soft tissue detail, X-rays are ideal for seeing bones, joints, and larger structures. At Highland Park Animal Hospital, we use digital radiography, which provides better image quality and reduced radiation compared to traditional X-ray film.

Types of Radiographs We Perform

Thoracic (Chest) Radiographs

Used for respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing, pneumonia, asthma), heart problems (enlarged heart, abnormal sounds, shortness of breath), trauma, and cancer screening.

Abdominal Radiographs

Used for gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea), abdominal pain or bloating, ingested foreign objects, and suspected masses.

Orthopedic Radiographs

Evaluation of bones, joints, and fractures — essential for pre-surgical planning and post-operative assessment.

Dental Radiographs

Evaluation of tooth roots and bone below the gumline — reveals disease invisible to visual examination alone.
