Radiographs
Our veterinarians use radiographs, commonly referred to as X-rays, as a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of medical conditions in pets. Veterinarians can view the internal anatomy of the body, including the bones, soft tissues, and foreign objects, with this painless and non-invasive procedure.
At Animal Hospital of Aurora, we embrace the power of radiography to ensure that your dog receives the most thorough and advanced diagnostic care. Imagine a diagnostic experience where every image tells a story, guiding us toward a nuanced understanding of your dog’s health. Trust us to utilize radiography as a powerful lens, capturing the essence of your dog’s well-being and paving the way for targeted interventions that prioritize their health and happiness.
