Diagnostics & Imaging for Pets

Successful Treatment Begins with an Accurate Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective emergency care.

Our DeLand veterinary emergency hospital offers advanced diagnostic tools—including digital radiography, ultrasound, CT imaging, and in-house laboratory testing—allowing our team to identify problems quickly and begin treatment without unnecessary delays.

Animal Diagnostic Capabilities

Some of the methods we use to determine what’s wrong with your pet include:

Aspirate – Inserting a very thin needle to collect fluid for analysis
Biopsy – Removing a piece of tissue or a sample of cells for laboratory analysis
Cytology – Collecting a single cell or small clusters of cells for microscopic analysis
Colonoscopy – Similar to endoscopy, but examining the large intestine (colon) and rectum
Endoscopy – Using a minimally invasive procedure to examine the upper digestive system with a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube

Imaging Modalities

Digital Radiography – An advanced X-ray system that produces images immediately, often reducing the need to sedate most pets
Echocardiography – An ultrasound of the heart
Electrocardiography – A test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat
Fluoroscopy – A “movie” version of an HDVI
High-Definition Volumetric Imaging (HDVI) – A sophisticated system that takes incredibly detailed 3-dimensional images
Ultrasonography – A non-invasive technology using sound waves to produce pictures of internal organs and systems
