Why Cat Radiographs Are Important

Radiographs, or X-rays, allow us to:

• Check the size, shape, and position of organs
• Evaluate bones and joints
• Detect fractures, foreign objects, or tumors
• Assess dental health and tooth roots

Unlike ultrasound, which focuses on soft tissue, X-rays are ideal for seeing bones, joints, and larger structures.

At Highland Park Animal Hospital, we use advanced equipment and gentle handling to ensure accurate results while minimizing stress for your cat.

How Cat Radiographs Work

During a radiograph, your cat is placed on a specialized X-ray table. Our trained staff uses protective equipment, including lead-lined gowns, thyroid shields, and gloves, to ensure safety.

Depending on your cat’s comfort and behavior, sedation may be used for stress-free imaging. Multiple views may be taken to fully evaluate the area of concern.
