Radiography (x-ray) is often the first imaging technique we employ and it gives us a very good overview of bone and soft-tissue structures. Ultrasound, on the other hand can give us much more detailed information about internal organs. Both of these procedures are non-invasive and can give immediate answers about how to proceed with a clinical problem. Generally ultrasound scanning is carried out without sedation.

However, occasionally it is much more pleasant for the patients if we lightly sedate them. Radiography, because we need to keep animals completely still while we expose the x-ray plates and also have a legal obligation not to expose humans to the risk of unnecessary radiation by holding our patients, is normally carried out under deep sedation or light general anaesthesia.
Electrocardiography ECG readings are being used more and more in our practice in the routine assessment of animals with potential heart disease or as part of a general health check in our more senior patients. It gives a visual graph of the transmission of electrical impulses through the heart muscle and, combined with radiography and ultrasound scanning, it is invaluable in the management of cardiac cases. With the help of visiting consultant specialists to our clinic this is an area, which we hope to develop in the months and years ahead.
