Ultrasound and X-Ray

Diagnostic ultrasound is an imaging method that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. It provides a better view of internal organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, and lymph nodes. It can identify and locate tumors, cysts, stones and more. Ultrasound is also used during pregnancy to visualize fetal heartbeats and ensure proper development. Ultrasound imaging is safe, non-invasive, and painless, and does not require your pet to be sedated. Using state-of-the-art equipment, ultrasounds are performed by our experienced veterinarians. And since images show up instantly on the screen, clients can get immediate feedback.

X-rays or radiographs are used to create digital images of the body. They can diagnose a variety of diseases in the chest, abdomen, bones and ligaments and can diagnose a slew of conditions such as broken bones, bladder stones, tumors, pregnancy and more. X-rays are a common, painless, and reliable form of medical imaging and don’t normally require much preparation. If your pet is calm and their injury isn’t painful, they should not require sedation. However, if they are in pain or if they are fidgety or uneasy, sedation could be necessary. The Pet Spot’s veterinary specialists will make sure that you are well informed and that your pet is comfortable. We want every pet and every pet parent to have the best possible experience and are proud to provide ultrasound and x-ray in Boulder.
