Accurate diagnostics are the foundation of effective veterinary care. At Oasis Pet Clinic in Fullerton, we utilize radiography (X-rays) and ultrasound imaging to provide a clear picture of your pet’s health. These noninvasive techniques allow us to diagnose various conditions with precision, ensuring your pet receives the care it needs promptly.
The Importance of Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
Pets can’t tell us when something is wrong, and symptoms may not always reveal the full story. Diagnostic imaging bridges this gap, offering valuable insights into your pet’s internal health. Whether your pet has experienced an injury, is showing unusual symptoms, or needs routine screening, our tools provide a comprehensive view of their well-being.
At Oasis Pet Clinic, we combine cutting-edge diagnostic imaging with compassionate care to ensure your pet receives a thorough and accurate evaluation.
Radiography: Visualizing What Lies Beneath
Radiography, commonly known as X-rays, is one of the most frequently used imaging tools in veterinary medicine. It is particularly effective in examining your pet’s bones, joints, and dense tissues.
What Can Digital X-rays Diagnose?
- Fractures and Injuries: Identify broken bones, dislocations, and orthopedic issues.
- Foreign Objects: Locate and assess items swallowed by pets.
- Arthritis: Detect joint degeneration and help older pets find relief.
- Dental Issues: Reveal problems below the gumline, such as root infections or bone loss.
- Chest and Abdominal Health: Examine the heart, lungs, and organs for abnormalities like tumors or fluid buildup.

Ultrasound Imaging: Seeing in Motion
While X-rays are ideal for dense structures, ultrasound excels in capturing soft tissues and organs in motion. This non-invasive technique uses sound waves to provide real-time images, offering dynamic insights into your pet’s internal health.
What Can Ultrasound Diagnose?
- Heart Conditions: Diagnose and monitor heart health, including murmurs or valve issues.
- Abdominal Concerns: Evaluate the liver, kidneys, and identify masses or fluid buildup.
- Pregnancy Monitoring: Safely track fetal development in pregnant pets.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Identify muscle, tendon, or ligament injuries.
- Guided Procedures: Support precise biopsies or fluid aspirations.
