Veterinary Radiology in Farmington, NM
San Juan Veterinary Hospital has the ability to take digital radiographs (X-rays) and develop them in-house, giving our veterinarians timely, accurate diagnoses without the wait for outside processing.
Book OnlineDigital radiography is an important diagnostic tool that allows our veterinarians to see inside your pet’s body without invasive procedures. X-rays can help identify a wide range of conditions, from broken bones and joint problems to swallowed foreign objects, bladder stones, and certain tumors.
Because our radiology equipment is digital and processed in-house, we’re able to review images quickly, often within minutes, so we can begin discussing findings and next steps the same day. Radiographs are frequently used alongside other diagnostic tools, including our in-house laboratory, to build a complete picture of your pet’s health.
Radiology plays a role in many areas of care at our hospital, including:
- Evaluating fractures and orthopedic injuries before fracture repair
- Diagnosing bladder stones prior to a cystotomy
- Identifying swallowed foreign objects that may require abdominal exploratory surgery
- Assessing joint conditions such as cranial cruciate ligament injuries or medial patellar luxation
- Confirming dental disease alongside a routine dental exam
If your veterinarian has recommended radiographs for your pet, or you have questions about our imaging capabilities, call (505) 326-2205 to schedule an appointment.
