When Does a Dog Need Diagnostic Imaging? X-Rays, Ultrasound, MRI, and CT Explained
There are times when a physical exam alone does not provide enough information to fully understand what is happening inside your dog's body. Diagnostic imaging allows veterinarians to look beyond what can be seen externally and evaluate internal structures more clearly. Tools such as X-rays (radiographs), ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI each provide different types of detail, helping your pet's doctor make an accurate diagnosis and plan treatment.
