Diagnostic imaging · Dogs and cats
Your pet can't tell you where it hurts. We can look.
In seconds, digital imaging shows the inside of the body in sharp detail: a diagnosis and a plan in the same visit, with no exploratory surgery and no waiting.
Where to start?
Book an appointment
For a consultation or a recommended exam.
Is it safe for my pet?
Radiation, and how we reduce it.
Our technologies
Body and dental radiography, plus ultrasound.

Why it matters
See, instead of guessing
Animals can't point to where it hurts. Imaging gives us clear answers, right away, to share with you plainly.
Early detection
We catch a problem before it worsens or shows visible symptoms. The sooner we see it, the more options we have.
Accurate diagnosis
Instead of guessing, the image shows exactly what is wrong: targeted treatment from the start.
Same-visit answer
Images are available during the visit: diagnosis and treatment plan in the same appointment, no second trip.
No exploratory surgery
We get valuable information without opening up: less risk and discomfort for your pet.
Tracking over time
Images are kept on file: we compare one exam to the next to see if an injury is healing or a treatment is working.
We show you
A picture is worth a thousand words. We show you what we see, and can share it with a veterinary radiologist if needed.
Under one roof
Our imaging technologies
Proven veterinary imaging technologies, for precise diagnoses and a comfortable experience for your pet. Two complementary radiography systems on-site, plus ultrasound.
IDEXX ImageVue DR30
Digital body radiography
- TRUVIEW technology: cesium crystals for strong image clarity
- High-resolution 2560 × 3072 pixel detector
- Image in under 5 seconds, less time on the table
- Up to 25% less radiation
- 14 × 17 in detection area: all animal types and sizes
- ClearCapture software built for veterinary medicine
The DR30 offers contrast and sharpness well beyond film, enabling more precise diagnoses.
Midmark Progeny
Digital dental radiography
- Small sensors placed inside the mouth for exceptional dental clarity
- Very high resolution to see root detail
- Instant images during the dental procedure
- Minimal radiation exposure
- Sensors adapted for cats, small and large dogs
- Specialized dental analysis software
Up to 60% of a tooth sits below the gum line. Without dental X-rays, we could miss an infection or abscess.
Ultrasound
No radiation at all, in-clinic
- Ultrasound machine available right in the clinic
- By appointment, the Animages specialist team comes in: ultrasound performed and interpreted on the spot
- Otherwise, our team performs the ultrasound and sends the images to a radiologist via the IDEXX platform (results: up to one week)
- Referral to a specialist when the condition requires it
- Your veterinarian recommends the option best suited to your pet
Ultrasound complements radiography: it shows organs and their movement in real time, with no radiation at all.
The uses

- Routine exams for senior pets
Emergencies
- Road accidents
- Falls and trauma

The difference
Why digital changes everything
Traditional radiography (film or CR)
- Darkroom development (10 to 15 minutes)
- Variable image quality, sometimes blurry
- Higher radiation exposure
- Imperfect images need retaking
- Bulky physical film storage
- Difficult sharing with specialists
- Developing chemicals
Our digital systems (IDEXX and Midmark)
- Images available in under 5 seconds
- Superior quality, enhanced contrast
- Up to 25% less radiation
- Digital adjustments without re-exposure
- Secure, accessible digital storage
- Instant sharing with specialists
- No developing chemicals
Safety
Less radiation, every exam
exposure at most, vs older systems
Our IDEXX ImageVue DR30 reduces radiation exposure by up to 25% compared to older computed-radiography and conventional digital systems.
TRUVIEW technology makes this possible: by capturing the light signal more efficiently, it produces high-quality images at a much lower dose.
Your pet's protection
Especially helpful for young growing animals and those who need repeated exams.
Safer repeated exams
For fracture follow-up or a chronic condition, the lower dose limits cumulative exposure.
Team protection
Less radiation each exam means a better-protected team over the long run.
