Accurate, Compassionate Diagnostic Imaging for Dogs & Cats

When a physical exam isn’t enough to fully understand your pet’s condition, diagnostic imaging gives us important insight into their internal health. At Festival Animal Clinic, we provide advanced pet diagnostics in Centennial, CO, including digital X-rays and ultrasound imaging.

These tools allow our veterinary team to diagnose injuries, evaluate internal organs, monitor chronic conditions, and develop precise, effective treatment plans—all in a calm and caring environment.

Digital X-Rays for Pets

Digital radiography (X-rays) is a safe, noninvasive diagnostic tool used to visualize the bones and soft tissues of the body. Digital technology provides clearer images, faster results, and lower exposure than traditional film X-rays. Digital X-rays help diagnose:

  • Fractures and orthopedic issues
  • Arthritis and joint problems
  • Dental concerns
  • Heart enlargement
  • Tumors or masses
  • Respiratory issues
  • Foreign objects
  • Bladder stones

Because digital images are processed immediately, we can evaluate findings quickly and begin planning treatment without delay.

Ultrasound Imaging for Pets

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This noninvasive tool is especially helpful for evaluating soft tissues that may not be visible on an X-ray. Ultrasound is ideal for examining:

  • Liver and kidneys
  • Spleen
  • Bladder
  • Gastrointestinal tract
  • Reproductive organs
  • Fluid accumulation
  • Abnormal masses
Ultrasound helps us diagnose complex conditions more accurately and determine whether surgery, medication, or ongoing monitoring is needed.

When Diagnostic Imaging Is Recommended

Your veterinarian may recommend X-rays or an ultrasound if your pet is showing signs such as:

  • Lameness or limping
  • Chronic vomiting or diarrhea
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Sudden behavior changes
  • Weight loss
  • Abdominal swelling
  • Persistent coughing
  • Pain or stiffness

Diagnostic imaging is also commonly used for pre-surgical planning, senior pet evaluations, and emergency situations.
