Digital Radiography

Digital radiography is a powerful tool for visualizing the internal structures of your horse. This technology provides clear and detailed images of:

  • Bones and Joints: Assessing fractures, arthritis, and other skeletal conditions.

  • Articular Facets: Evaluating joint surfaces for abnormalities.

  • Bursae: Identifying inflammation or other issues in fluid-filled sacs around joints.

Digital images are produced instantly during your appointment, and can be easily sent via email to you, your farrier, or another veterinarian for consultation.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool for examining soft tissue structures. This non-invasive technique allows us to visualize:

  • Tendons and Ligaments: Detecting tears, strains, and other injuries.

  • Muscles: Assessing muscle health and identifying abnormalities.

  • Internal Organs: Evaluating the health of organs such as the liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs.

Ultrasound imaging provides real-time, high-resolution images that help us diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions.
