Radiology  & Ultrasonography Services

At McKean Veterinary Hospital, we utilize advanced radiology and ultrasonography technologies to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions in your pet. These imaging tools allow us to obtain clear, detailed images of your pet’s internal structures, helping us detect issues that may not be visible through a physical examination alone. Whether it’s identifying fractures, tumors, or soft tissue abnormalities, these diagnostic tools provide invaluable insight into your pet’s health.

If needed, we can send digital images to board-certified radiological specialists for expert evaluation or a second opinion, ensuring the most accurate diagnosis and best treatment plan for your pet. This collaborative approach helps us provide the highest level of care, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving comprehensive medical attention.
