Radiography in Potlach, ID
Radiography is a diagnostic tool that can be utilized for a variety of scenarios. At Potlatch Veterinary Clinic, we have several X-ray systems. For animals brought to the clinic, we utilize a high-quality digital radiography system. This in-house technology allows us to obtain clear and detailed images that help diagnose various conditions, from joint and bone issues to gastrointestinal problems.
Our radiography services include:
- Evaluation of Mobility Issues: Radiographs help us assess bone fractures, arthritis, and other conditions affecting movement.
- Gastrointestinal Imaging: X-rays can detect foreign objects, blockages, or internal organ abnormalities.
- Heart and Lung Examination: Radiography assists in diagnosing cardiac issues or respiratory conditions by providing detailed images of the chest.
- Dental Radiography: Dental x-rays allow us to examine the roots and structure of your animal’s teeth, ensuring comprehensive oral care during cleanings or extractions.
Dental Radiography for Animals
As part of our dental services, we offer dental radiographs for large animals. Dental x-rays help us evaluate the health of the tooth roots, gums, and surrounding bone. This non-invasive imaging technique ensures that any underlying dental issues, such as root infections or bone loss, are detected early, allowing us to provide targeted treatments that improve your animal’s oral health.
