Radiography (X-ray)
Used to view bone fractures, monitor bone healing, detect foreign bodies and diagnose chest and abdominal conditions.
Ultrasonography
Employed for visualizing soft tissue structures, diagnosing pregnancy and guiding needle biopsies.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Ideal for diagnosing neurological conditions, soft tissue injuries and issues within body cavities.
Computed Tomography (CT)
Suitable for obtaining cross-sectional images of bone and soft tissues, identifying tumors and planning surgical procedures.
Endoscopy
Allows for visualization and biopsy of gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system and other internal structures.
Nuclear Scintigraphy
Used to diagnose bone and thyroid disorders, stress fractures and certain types of cancers.
Echocardiography
Specifically used for imaging the heart to assess cardiac function, structure, and blood flow.
Digital Subtraction Angiography
Utilized for visualizing blood vessels and diagnosing vascular diseases.
Thermography
Used for assessing inflammation or poor blood flow by measuring skin surface temperatures.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Utilized for metabolic and biochemical analysis of tissues, often for identifying cancer metastasis.
Fluoroscopy
Ideal for real-time imaging of internal structures and useful in guiding certain procedures.
Myelography
Involves injection of contrast material into spinal column to diagnose spine and spinal cord disorders.
Bone Densitometry (DEXA)
Measures bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis and monitor treatment efficacy.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
Produces images of blood vessels without the use of radiation, often to evaluate for blockages or aneurysms.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Provides high-resolution images of the retina and is used for diagnosing eye conditions.
Electromyography (EMG)
Used to measure muscle response to nerve stimulation and diagnose neuromuscular disorders.
Contrast Radiography
Involves the use of contrast agents to highlight specific body areas during X-ray imaging.
Transcranial Ultrasonography
Used to image the brain and assess blood flow through brain vessels in small or young animals.
Intravenous Urography (IVU)
A radiologic procedure that visualizes the entire urinary tract.
Biomagnetic Imaging
Can help assess and image iron-containing tissues or tracking certain types of cells labeled with magnetic markers.
