Pet Radiology and EKG Services in Nassau, NY
Nassau Veterinary Radiology & EKG Services
Radiographs (x-rays) and electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs) are essential diagnostic tools for our Nassau veterinarians. With our in-house laboratory and experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians, we at Nassau Veterinary Clinic can provide the complete diagnostic care that your pet needs. From preventative and wellness care to wound treatment and surgery, we provide quality veterinary care in a friendly environment that promotes your pet’s comfort.
In-House Radiology (X-Ray) Services
X-rays play a key role in diagnosing illnesses and injuries. With them, we can see what lies hidden below the surface of the skin. Nassau Veterinary Clinic is equipped with both a conventional x-ray machine and a special dental x-ray unit for oral radiography.
Radiographs help the veterinarian make diagnoses in many ways. We can identify:
- Fractured bones
- Fluid or air in the chest
- Arthritis
- Abnormal growths or tumors
- An enlarged heart
- Foreign objects in the body
- Bladder stones
Dental radiography helps us diagnose tooth abscesses, retained teeth, and other painful conditions so the right decision can be made before any extractions are done. A high-quality processor enables us to have radiographs available for viewing within a few minutes.
Specialized Radiographic Techniques
Special radiographic techniques can also be performed using dyes or barium, which outline or reveal internal abnormalities. In some cases, human mammography films and cassettes are used, giving ultra-fine detail.
ECG to Diagnose Heart Disorders
If an examination or clinical history of your pet suggests a heart disorder, the first diagnostic step usually includes chest x-rays and an electrocardiogram, which may be referred to as an ECG or EKG. An ECG can be done quickly and easily during your visit to provide the doctor with information to best help your pet. In some cases, these tests will provide enough information to arrive at a diagnosis. In other cases, a cardiac ultrasound may be necessary to identify the disorders within the heart chambers themselves.
