Advanced Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging For Pets

At Forest Crossing Animal Hospital, we understand that effective veterinary care starts with a clear understanding of your pet’s internal health. That’s why we offer advanced radiology services—including digital X-rays—to help our veterinarians diagnose injuries, monitor disease, and guide treatment plans with confidence.

Why Radiology Matters in Pet Healthcare

  • Swift, Clear Internal Insight
    Radiology allows us to non-invasively visualize bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, and more—critical when diagnosing fractures, respiratory issues, or gastrointestinal concerns.

  • Enhanced Treatment Planning
    Accurate imaging empowers precise medical or surgical planning and better outcomes for your pet.

  • Minimally Invasive Diagnostics
    Digital X-rays are efficient and low-stress for your pet while yielding high-resolution images for rapid clinician review.

Our Radiology Services Include:

  • Comprehensive Digital X-Rays—High-quality diagnostics for everything from broken bones to internal organ evaluations.

  • CT Scans—We’ve added a new, state-of-the-art CT scanner to our diagnostic imaging equipment to ensure our skilled and dedicated staff can offer the best in veterinary diagnostics for your pet.
  • Supportive Imaging—When combined with ultrasound or lab testing, radiographs help paint a complete clinical picture.

  • Safe & Efficient Techniques—Our digital systems minimize exposure and process images quickly to support timely and informed treatment decisions.

What is a CT Scan?

Computerized tomography, or CT, scans are computer enhanced x-rays that provide three-dimensional images of the internal body. Unlike the two-dimensional picture an X-ray captures, CT scans allow us to see the complete structure of the body.
They are most often used to evaluate complex parts of the body, like the head, chest and various internal organs. They show different levels of tissue density, and they produce more detailed images than x-rays. This ability to see inside your pet’s body helps us detect and treat problems affecting your animal companions.

When should a CT scan be taken?

CT scans are useful in detecting problems like:

  • Nasal disease
  • Head trauma
  • Lung diseases
  • Middle and inner ear disorders
  • Tumors
  • Orthopedic conditions, such as hip dysplasia and joint degeneration
  • Brain or spinal conditions
  • Dental disease, such as abscess

What to Expect During Radiology Visits

  • Pet Preparation & Comfort
    We’ll gently position your pet for the X-ray, ensuring safety and ease. Sedation is rarely needed unless the pet is anxious or requires a specific angle.

  • Image Capture & Expert Review
    Using digital radiography, we create clear, immediate images reviewed in real time by our veterinarian.

  • Personalized Care Plan Based on Results
    Whether it's a medical, surgical, or lifestyle intervention, we’ll walk you through the findings and the next best steps.
