At Monier Veterinary Clinic, we use advanced radiology and diagnostic imaging to get a clear picture of your pet’s health. These tools allow us to look beyond external symptoms, helping us accurately diagnose a wide range of conditions and develop tailored treatment plans.
Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
Seeing Beyond the Surface
Our Vast Imaging Capabilities
Digital Radiology (X-Rays)
High-resolution imaging for detailed views of bones, joints, and internal organs. Commonly used for:
Orthopaedic issues such as fractures or arthritis.
Abdominal concerns like gastrointestinal blockages or urinary stones.
Lung and heart conditions, including heart enlargement or fluid in the lungs.
Dental Radiology
Focused imaging to assess teeth and detect problems below the gum line, such as root infections or fractures.
Intraocular Pressure Testing
Measuring eye pressure to diagnose conditions such as glaucoma.
Dental Radiology
A non-invasive method to examine soft tissues, detect fluid buildup, or guide biopsies. Common uses include:
Evaluating organs such as the liver, kidneys, or spleen.
Diagnosing pregnancy or monitoring foetal health.
Identifying tumours or cysts.
Specialised Imaging Services
We work closely with visiting specialists to offer advanced imaging and procedures, including:
- Specialist Ultrasound: For more complex cases requiring detailed reports.
- Ultrasound guided biopsies
