Como Park Animal Hospital provides several advanced in-house diagnostic services to help us help your pet. These in-house diagnostics include:

• Digital Radiology – Radiology (X-ray imaging) has always been useful for examining bones, foreign objects and other harder structures inside the body. Unfortunately, the traditional photographic method uses a fair amount of radiation and requires time for the plates to develop. Our digital radiology equipment can capture brilliant high-definition images instantly, sending them as data files to a computer screen, while exposing your pet to less radiation. What’s more, it’s safe, painless and non-invasive.
• Ultrasound – Ultrasound involves the use of sound waves that reflect off of different densities of tissue in different ways, producing a detailed image of an animal’s internal organs and other structures. Ultrasound allows our veterinarian to examine your pet’s organ function and see any abnormal masses such as tumors. Since it can also produce real-time moving images, we can observe heart action and other organ function as well as viewing embryos as they move around in the womb.
• Computerized EKG – An electrocardiogram, also called an EKG or ECG, is a set of readings that measure the electrical activity in an animal’s heart. Electrodes attached to your pet pick up data that is recorded in graph form so our vet team can identify cardiac conditions or abnormalities. Our computerized EKG system can upload this data to computers or other data devices for instant access and sharing.
