Radiology is a very important tool in the aid of diagnosing a multitude of problems. The pictures taken are a way of showing the owners the problem and can also be shared with other veterinarians and referral clinics for rapid diagnosis and second opinions.
X-Rays are necessary for a variety of reasons; one of the more common reasons is to locate foreign objects that the animal may have eaten.
Sometimes two, three or more X-rays are needed to get different views of the animal and problem area.
