X-Ray service at any veterinary hospital is like having heat and air conditioning in your car. It is essential for diagnosing problems found in your pet and usually is a part of other diagnostic procedures used in making a definitive diagnosis.

 

 

Many problems can only be diagnosed with xray films. Bone or soft tissue diseases like a fracture of a bone or a stone in a bladder sometimes can only be diagnosed by x-ray. At PVH, we have a Bennett 300MA X-ray machine capable of penetrating the largest of dogs and an automatic processor capable of developing films rapidly and ready for reading in less than a minute. Coupled with the use of rare earth film, which gives very high detail, our x-ray service is state of the art.

I n addition, PVH also has a dental xray unit. This unit will take dental xrays for diagnosing dental disease in your pet's mouth. Endodontics, such as root canals, cannot be performed without dental films.
