In the last 20 years, medical imaging technologies have allowed veterinarians to see inside animals in different ways. Ultrasound uses sound waves, magnetic resonance imaging (MR) uses the spin of hydrogen atoms, and computed tomography (CT) uses x-rays analyzed by a computer.

Despite these advances, diagnostic x-ray remains one of the most convenient, economical and versatile means of diagnostic imaging.  Radiography can help detect many diseases throughout the body in dogs, cats and exotic pets.  Our staff is skilled in producing high quality diagnostic x-ray images to aid our veterinarians in diagnosing these and many other medical conditions.  When needed, we also enlist the services of board certified radiology specialists to aid in complex cases.

Our veterinarians have access to CT and MRI imaging through our area specialty referral practices when these less frequently used and more costly procedures are indicated.

“Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging” plays an important role in diagnosing and monitoring treatment in all species of animals, and we are happy to be able to provide this service to our St Petersburg and Tampa Bay Area clients and their pets.
