Digital Radiology
We are thrilled to offer digital radiology for pets
Hands-on physical examinations tell our veterinarians
a lot about your pet’s overall health and condition.
However, they are not always enough. In many instances, we rely on diagnostic imaging to peer inside our patients’ bodies to search for ingested foreign bodies, assess the severity of injuries, and diagnose certain conditions. At PetNest Animal Hospital, we use digital radiology to capture detailed images of pets’ internal structures with minimal radiation exposure. Compared to traditional x-rays, digital radiology is faster, safer, and more accurate, and we are thrilled to offer digital radiology for pets in Frisco and the surrounding areas.
What Is
Digital Radiology?
Veterinary digital radiology, also known as digital x-ray, is an advanced tool for diagnostic imaging that is widely used to examine pets’ organs and bones. Most often, it is used to view the cardiopulmonary, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems.
Digital radiology is non-invasive and requires less radiation than traditional film x-rays. Plus, the image quality is much greater, and veterinarians can instantly view the results. Modern digital radiology is even better for the environment than traditional methods.
Due to recent developments in veterinary medicine, x-rays are safer now than ever before. Your pet will only be exposed to a minimal amount of radiation. And in many instances, they do not even need to be sedated before the procedure. When you choose us for your pet’s x-rays, your furry friend will be in skilled and loving hands every step of the way.

Pet Digital Radiology FAQs
What conditions can be diagnosed with digital pet radiology?
Digital radiology can diagnose a wide range of conditions, including fractures, dislocations, arthritis, tumors, lung diseases, heart problems, foreign bodies, and gastrointestinal obstructions.
How safe are x-rays for my pet?
X-rays are generally safe for pets. The amount of radiation exposure is minimal, and modern digital radiology systems use even lower doses of radiation. Our team takes all necessary precautions to ensure your pet’s safety during the procedure.
How is a pet x-ray performed?
During a digital x-ray, your pet will be positioned on a table, and the radiology machine will capture images of the targeted area.
Will my pet need sedation or anesthesia for an x-ray?
In most cases, your pet will not need to be sedated. Sedation or anesthesia may be required if your pet is anxious, in pain, or needs to remain completely still for the x-ray. This ensures the best quality images and minimizes stress for your pet.
How long does it take to perform a pet x-ray?
The actual x-ray procedure is quick, typically taking only a few minutes. However, additional time may be needed for preparation, positioning, and, if necessary, sedation.
Can I stay with my pet during digital radiology?
For safety reasons, pet owners are not allowed to stay in the room during digital pet radiology. Our veterinary team will take good care of your furry friend during their brief time away from you.
How quickly will I get my pet’s digital radiology results?
Digital x-rays provide images that our veterinarians can review right away. In many cases, you will receive the results during your visit. If a specialist needs to perform further analysis, it may take a bit longer.
