The veterinary team at Cornerstone Animal Hospital in North Richland Hills utilizes non-invasive tools such as X-Rays to diagnose and treat our patients. Our facility features a state-of-the-art digital X-Ray system that helps pinpoint the cause of your pet’s discomfort, illness, or injury.
When is X-Ray Necessary?
If your pet is showing signs of illness or has experienced trauma, X-rays are an invaluable diagnostic tool that helps our doctors determine the best course of care.
During general wellness exams for senior pets, X-rays can detect potential issues that might become serious later, including:
- Urinary bladder stones or kidney stones
- Chest abnormalities such as an enlarged heart or tumors
- Lung problems like pulmonary edema or pneumonia
- Broken bones (fractures) or joint dislocations
- Tumors (masses) or cancer
- Twisted stomach or intestines
- Swallowed coins or other foreign objects in the stomach or intestines
At Cornerstone Animal Hospital, veterinarians may combine X-rays with other diagnostic tools like ultrasound or echocardiography to develop a personalized treatment plan for your pet.
Consultations with a Board-Certified Radiologist are available at any time for an additional fee.
Dental X-Ray
Dental X-rays help differentiate healthy teeth from those that are infected and may require extraction. They also reveal abnormalities beneath the gums, including root damage, tumors, and abscesses.
