Safe & Accurate Pet
Radiographs

At ABC Veterinary Clinic of Lewisville, our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions in pets. X-rays, or radiography, allow our veterinarians to take a closer look at your pet’s internal structures, providing invaluable information that cannot be obtained through a physical examination alone.

A Look Inside Pet X-Rays

Pet X-rays use a small amount of radiation to produce images of the body’s internal structures. When X-ray beams pass through your pet’s body, they are absorbed in varying amounts by different tissues. Bones, for example, absorb a lot of the radiation and appear white on the X-ray images, while soft tissues absorb less and appear in shades of gray. This contrast allows veterinarians to visualize bones, organs, and other internal features clearly.

While pet X-rays do involve radiation, the levels used in veterinary diagnostics are extremely low and considered safe for pets. ABC Veterinary Clinic of Lewisville employs modern X-ray equipment and protective measures to minimize exposure for the safety and health of your pet. The benefits of accurately diagnosing and treating conditions far outweigh the minimal risks associated with radiation exposure.

Pet Radiography and Sedation

In most cases, pet X-rays can be performed without the need for anesthesia. However, to obtain high-quality images, pets need to remain still during the X-ray process. For pets that are anxious, in pain, or unable to stay still, mild sedation may be necessary to ensure their comfort and the clarity of the images. Our veterinary team will always prioritize your pet’s safety, and any need for sedation will be discussed with you beforehand.

Broken Bones and More

Pet X-rays can be utilized to diagnose a wide range of conditions in cats and dogs, including but not limited to:


  • Bone Fractures and Injuries: Pet X-rays are the gold standard for identifying breaks in bones and assessing the severity of skeletal injuries.
  • Dental Problems: Dental X-rays can reveal issues below the gum line, such as root problems and jawbone abnormalities.
  • Digestive System Obstructions: If your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, pet radiology can help locate the foreign object.
  • Respiratory Issues: Digital X-rays of the chest can show lung problems, heart enlargement, or fluid in or around the lungs.
  • Cancer Detection: Pet radiology can be used to detect masses or tumors within the body, aiding in the diagnosis of cancer.
