X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, allowing veterinarians to assess and diagnose a wide range of health issues in pets. They are safe when performed by trained professionals and are often a crucial step in determining the most appropriate treatment plan for an animal's health condition.

Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Issues
X-rays are commonly used to diagnose fractures, dislocations, bone infections, bone tumors, and other orthopedic issues in pets. They provide detailed images of the bones and joints, allowing veterinarians to assess the extent of injuries and plan appropriate treatments.

Soft Tissue Assessment
X-rays can also be used to visualize soft tissues, such as the organs of the chest and abdomen. They help veterinarians identify abnormalities, including masses, fluid accumulation, and foreign objects that may be causing health problems in pets.

Dental Health
Dental X-rays are used to assess the health of a pet's teeth and jaw. They are particularly important for detecting dental issues below the gumline, such as tooth root abscesses or fractures.
