Digital Radiography for Pets in York, ME
At Village Veterinary Clinic, we provide advanced radiography using modern digital technology. Our X-rays deliver high-quality images with low-frequency exposure, ensuring safe, effective diagnostics that help us make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
Advanced Imaging for Better Pet Care
Digital radiography allows us to see beyond the surface, giving veterinarians detailed images of bones, joints, lungs, heart, and abdominal organs. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital technology provides sharper images, faster results, and reduced radiation exposure — offering both safety and efficiency for pets as well as peace of mind for their families.
With this technology, our team can quickly detect fractures, locate foreign objects, evaluate the chest and abdomen, and monitor chronic conditions such as arthritis or heart disease.
The Role of X-Rays in Diagnosing Pets
Diagnostic imaging plays a vital role in veterinary medicine. Pets cannot always communicate their pain or discomfort, and physical exams may not reveal the full extent of the issue. Digital radiography allows us to:
Identify broken bones or joint issues
Detect tumors, masses, or organ abnormalities
Evaluate the lungs and heart for respiratory or cardiac disease
