We are committed to providing your pets with the highest level of care when they need it the most through our diagnostic services. Understanding the health concerns of your furry family members starts with superior diagnostic capabilities. At Somers Avenue Animal Clinic, we’re proud to offer veterinary diagnostics with leading-edge Digital Radiography and Digital Dental Radiography technologies as well as our in-house laboratory,.
Cutting-edge Diagnostic Technologies for Precise Care
Digital Dental Radiography
Oral health is a critical component of your pet’s overall well-being. Our Digital Dental Radiography provides detailed images of your pet’s teeth and gums, detecting dental diseases early on, including hidden problems below the gum line. This advanced dental diagnostic tool allows for immediate evaluation and treatment, leading to better dental health outcomes for your pets.
Both Digital Radiography and Digital Dental Radiography offer numerous advantages over conventional X-ray techniques. One of the most significant benefits is the exceptional image quality. The high-resolution images allow our veterinarians to zoom in, adjust contrast, and manipulate the images to uncover even the subtlest abnormalities. This level of detail is invaluable in diagnosing conditions such as fractures, arthritis, dental issues, and various internal problems.
Furthermore, digital radiology reduces radiation exposure for your pets. Our equipment requires significantly less radiation to produce an image, which means a safer experience for your furry companions and our veterinary staff.
An added benefit of these technologies is that the digital nature of these images allows for easy storage, retrieval, and sharing. This enhances collaboration among our team of experts and allows us to consult with specialists if needed, all while keeping your pet’s medical history organized and easily accessible.
In House Laboratory
Lab work at Somers Avenue Animal Clinic is all about convenience, precision, and swift care, especially when a pet isn’t feeling their best. Our dedicated in-house laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology, enabling us to swiftly diagnose and initiate treatment for those who can’t afford to wait. Additionally, for less urgent requirements, we rely on an external laboratory for routine blood work and more advanced testing.
