Leading-Edge Diagnostics
Our patients cannot speak for themselves, so our staff relies on diagnostic imaging as they diagnose and treat illness in animals. UW Veterinary Care is equipped with the most cutting-edge imaging technologies, so you can rest assured that your animal will receive the right tests and fast results.
Our state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging capabilities include:
- Digital radiography to study heart or lung disease, gastrointestinal upset, urinary problems, trauma or abdominal pain.
- Ultrasound for the evaluation of internal organs, muscles, tendons and growths, as well as live guidance for tissue sampling.
- Fluoroscopy or moving, real-time X-ray studies that enable a live look at GI tract and swallowing function. This is also used for interventional radiographic procedures for heart, liver or bladder problems.
- Contrast or “dye” studies that provide better identification of the urinary system and spinal cord.
- CT scans for small animals that produce high-detail images for the evaluation of the head, neck, thorax and abdomen.
- MRI for the study of neurological or orthopedic diseases in small animals.
- The only site in the state that has Nuclear Imaging to help clarify lameness in horses.
Our expert team of certified technologists, board-certified radiologists and residents work together and, with these technologies, give patients the best possible care.
