Pet Diagnostics at Charm City Veterinary Hospital
At Charm City Veterinary Hospital, our in-house and partnered diagnostic services are designed to give us a clear picture of your pet’s health—whether we’re investigating a concern or conducting a routine check-up. Our commitment to thorough, timely diagnostics allows us to make informed decisions and deliver personalized care at every stage of your pet’s life.
Digital Radiography
(X-rays)
Our high-resolution digital radiography system lets us visualize your pet’s internal anatomy quickly and accurately. These images help diagnose a wide range of conditions affecting the:
- Musculoskeletal system – fractures, joint issues, arthritis
- Cardiopulmonary system – heart disease, fluid in the lungs, collapsed trachea
- Digestive tract – obstructions, foreign bodies, gas patterns
- Urinary tract – bladder stones, kidney size, structural abnormalities
- Reproductive system – pregnancy evaluations or uterine conditions
Digital radiographs allow for fast image processing and real-time diagnostics. We partner with a Radiologist to ensure that your pet’s images come with a full diagnostic report.
Ultrasound – Now Available Biweekly
We’re proud to offer on-site abdominal and soft tissue ultrasound every other Wednesday. Performed by a veterinary sonographer & accompanied with a full report, our Ultrasound services are a drop-off appointment (sedation may be needed) that allows us to utilize a non-invasive, real-time view of your pet’s internal organs to diagnose your pet. Areas we can view include:
- Liver, spleen, kidney, and bladder diseases
- Pancreatic or adrenal abnormalities
- Masses or internal growth
- Fluid accumulation
- Pregnancy and fetal health
Echocardiograms with a full report are available to existing patients with a doctor’s order, as well.
Having regular ultrasonic imaging availability in-house ensures you receive high-level diagnostic care without unnecessary delays or referrals.
