Radiology

The Doctor and assistant at Aztec Animal Hospital wear protective lead lined gloves and aprons. Occasional exposure to diagnostic x-rays for your pet is not hazardous, but for someone who is utilizing x-ray equipment repeatedly, day after day, protection from unnecessary radiation is very important.

Radiology or X-rays help our veterinarians evaluate muscular, skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.  With an X-ray machine on site, we can provide you with a quick diagnosis through X-ray evaluation and set a plan for your pet. Careful analysis of radiographs contributes to an accurate diagnosis and it could be life saving for your pet.

X-rays can be sent out to specialists via mail or e-mail for further evaluation and diagnostics.
