Dog & Cat X-Rays and Ultrasounds in Gansevoort, NY

In an emergency, every second counts. At Northway Animal Emergency Clinic, we combine digital radiology and ultrasound to provide immediate, high-quality imaging that helps us detect and diagnose a wide range of conditions. Whether your pet is experiencing trauma, illness, or other urgent health issues, these advanced tools allow us to make fast, informed decisions to deliver the best possible care.

Why Digital Radiology is Vital in Emergency Care

Together, digital X-rays and ultrasound offer complementary diagnostic capabilities that enable us to quickly and accurately assess your pet’s condition. Whether your pet has been in an accident, is showing signs of illness, or has ingested something harmful, these technologies help us uncover critical information and determine the next steps for treatment.

Rapid Results

Both digital radiology and ultrasound provide immediate imaging, allowing our team to act without delay. Digital X-rays are perfect for capturing detailed images of bones, joints, and dense tissues, while ultrasounds excel at evaluating soft tissues and fluid-filled areas like the heart, abdomen, and organs. This rapid access to information is especially critical during emergencies, where every moment matters.

Adjustable Features

Our digital radiology system allows us to manipulate images—zooming in, adjusting contrast, and enhancing clarity—so we can detect even the smallest issues, such as hairline fractures or lung abnormalities. Ultrasound, on the other hand, provides real-time, dynamic images, enabling us to observe blood flow, organ function, and the movement of internal structures in ways that X-rays cannot.

Enhanced Communication
and Collaboration

Enhanced Communication and Collaboration

The clear, high-resolution images from our digital radiology system and ultrasound equipment allow our veterinarians to better explain your pet’s condition and the proposed treatment options. These images are also easily shareable with your primary care veterinarian, ensuring seamless follow-up care after your visit. By collaborating with your regular vet, we provide a smooth transition from emergency treatment to ongoing management of your pet’s health.

Diagnostic Versatility

Digital X-rays and ultrasound are essential tools for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Orthopedic Injuries

    X-rays enable us to detect fractures, joint dislocations, or bone abnormalities after trauma.

  • Soft Tissue Emergencies

    We can evaluate organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder for signs of tumors, fluid buildup, or blockages.

  • Foreign Body Detection

    X-rays and an abdominal ultrasound can help identify objects ingested by your pet, such as toys, bones, or other non-digestible materials.

  • Abdominal Issues

    Ultrasound is particularly useful for identifying fluid in the abdomen, abnormalities in the spleen, or intestinal blockages.

  • Heart Conditions

    Ultrasound allows us to assess cardiac function and detect issues like heart murmurs or fluid around the heart.

  • Dental Concerns

    Digital X-rays help uncover dental fractures, infections, or disease in your pet’s teeth and jaw.
