Digital Radiology

Webster Groves Animal Hospital is proud to offer our patients digital radiology (x-rays). Our state-of-the-art digital x-ray unit produces sharp, high-quality diagnostic images of your pet, enabling our veterinarians and staff to make a fast, accurate diagnosis. X-rays are useful in evaluating a number of areas of your pet's body, including the musculo-skeletal system, gastrointestinal tract, the heart and lungs and the reproductive system.

Digital x-rays have many advantages for your pet, our hospital and the environment. Because the image quality of digital x-rays is higher, your pet spends less time on the x-ray table. This means less stress for your pet. Digital x-rays can be saved to a disc or emailed to specialists for consultations or second opinions. Unlike traditional plate x-rays, no film is developed for digital x-rays, and so no toxic chemicals are needed to produce x-rays. Digital x-rays can be sent via the internet to board-certified veterinary radiologists when consultations are needed.
