Digital X-Rays in St. Peters

Less radiation, safer for pets

State-of-the-art imaging technology allows for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Our veterinarians can tell a lot about your pet’s health during a physical examination. Unfortunately, they often need to look deeper. In these situations, they rely on diagnostic imaging. At Pet Urgent Care of St. Peters, our veterinary team performs digital X-rays in St. Peters using a state-of-the-art system.

Faster treatment decisions in emergencies

Superior Imaging Quality and Speed

Digital radiography produces exceptionally clear, high-resolution images that can be enhanced, magnified, and adjusted to highlight specific areas of concern. This superior image quality helps our veterinarians detect subtle abnormalities that might be missed with conventional X-ray films.

The ability to manipulate these digital images means we can often obtain the information we need without having to repeat exposures. The immediate availability of images is particularly valuable during urgent situations since, with digital X-rays, we don’t need to wait for film to develop.

Images appear on our computer screens within seconds of capture, allowing our team to make faster treatment decisions when time is critical.

Gentle handling techniques for pets

Safer and Less Stressful Experience

Digital radiography requires significantly less radiation than traditional X-ray systems — typically 50-80% less. Additionally, the faster imaging process means your pet spends less time in potentially uncomfortable positions, resulting in a less stressful experience.

Our team is thoroughly trained in gentle handling techniques and proper positioning to obtain optimal images while keeping your pet as comfortable as possible. We can provide appropriate sedation options for pets with anxiety or pain that makes positioning difficult.
