Digital Radiology

          ​We consider the use of digital radiograph technology a valuable tool in modern diagnostic procedures. Radiographs, which are commonly known as X-rays, are used to evaluate injuries and conditions which require more than external examination. Radiology equipment gives us a non-evasive way to observe your pet’s internal anatomy so that we can provide a more thorough and accurate diagnosis. Our veterinarians use radiographs to detect bone fractures, bladder stones, tumors, and soft tissue problems (those related to the heart, stomach, intestines, reproductive, and urinary systems) as well as to locate swallowed foreign objects such as toys or rocks.
 
          The imaging procedure is completely painless and can be performed on calm and cooperative pets without sedation. Your veterinarian may administer a sedative or general anesthesia in cases where a dog or cat feels uncomfortable.
 
          We can often have X-rays taken immediately and have the information we need in urgent situations.
  
          We are proud to offer digital imaging. Digital imaging allows our staff to view X-rays more quickly and clearly. When necessary, digital images can be sent to The Ohio State University for a board certified radiologist to interpret.

PennHIP and OFA

          We offer two radiographic screening methods for hip evaluation:

          The PennHIP method is a novel way to assess, measure, and interpret hip joint laxity. It consists of three separate radiographs: the distraction view, the compression view, and the hip-extended view. PennHIP radiographs must be performed by a certified veterinarian. Dr. Matt Stonecypher is certified to perform PennHIP x-rays. For more information, visit http://info.antechimagingservices.com/pennhip/index.html

           We can submit to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for hip, elbow, cardiac, and thyroid screening. The OFA method for hip evaluation is a hip-extended view. For more information about the OFA, visit http://www.offa.org/

          Both methods are performed under sedation and must be scheduled during a doctor's surgery schedule. Dr. Matt Stonecypher must perform the PennHIP procedures; therefore, they must be scheduled on Wednesday mornings during his surgery time since either procedure requires sedation.

          Please call or email dacdesk@gmail.com for more information regarding scheduling and fees.
