Diagnostic Imaging Techniques

Seeing Inside: Imaging in Veterinary Medicine

Diagnostic imaging allows veterinarians to visualize bones, organs, and tissues without surgery. Common techniques include X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI.

Types of Imaging

  • Radiography (X-ray): Excellent for bones and chest cavities.
  • Ultrasound: Great for soft tissues and pregnancy checks.
  • MRI/CT scans: Advanced imaging for neurological or complex cases.

Technician's Role

Prepare animals, position them safely, and operate equipment according to protocols.

Real-World Applications

Early detection of fractures, tumors, or pregnancies leads to faster, more effective treatment.

Examples

  • Using X-rays to confirm a broken leg in a horse.

  • Performing an ultrasound to check for bladder stones in a dog.

In a Nutshell

Explains how imaging helps diagnose and treat animal health issues.
