Diagnostic Services
Radiology
Radiographs (x-rays) are one of the most effective tools we use for diagnosing your pet's illness. Clear, detailed x-rays help us diagnose and treat your pet quickly. X-rays are used to identify a variety of conditions, from detecting signs of heart disease and locating tumors to pinpointing the location and severity of bone fractures and finding foreign bodies (such as bones or household items) that your pet may have swallowed. In order to provide your pet with the best medical care, Brookfield Veterinary Hospital employs advanced radiology equipment for diagnosing medical and surgical conditions in your pet. All x-rays are submitted to board-certified radiologists for review, resulting in a more accurate, complete diagnosis for your pet.
