Diagnostic Imaging is defined as the use of technology such as X Rays, ultrasound, MRI or CT Scans to “image” internal structures in order to identify disease. In the last 20 years Diagnostic Imaging has advanced markedly.

Boulder’s Natural Animal has a digital-ready, microprocessor controlled automatic exposure high frequency X-Ray machine that reduces the radiation exposure involved with taking X Rays (also known as “radiographs”). We are able to get near perfect radiographs each time due to the machine’s special microprocessor. This means less radiation exposure for both your pet and our staff. The high frequency also allows for smaller doses and sharper pictures.

Board Certified Veterinary Radiologists visit our office regularly to read radiographs and to perform ultrasound studies of our patients. These radiologists have added a huge advantage to our practice by allowing us to diagnose problems occurring internally. Our radiologists are able to take specimens from internal organs and structures, “non-invasively” via ultrasound guided biopsy collection.This enables us to achieve a very accurate diagnosis with a minimum of cost and risk and trauma to your pet.

In addition, a Board Certified Veterinary Cardiologist comes to our office as needed to evaluate the cardiovascular function of our patients with cardiac disease via Color Doppler Ultrasound.
