At Miami Springs Animal Hospital, we are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical technology. Radiology is a technique and diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way. X-rays allow us to create images of all the body’s organs.
In addition to standard radiology services, we are certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) to perform specialized OFA X-rays for pets. OFA certification ensures that our practice meets rigorous standards for accuracy and quality when evaluating pets for hereditary conditions such as hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia.
In other words, the use of radiology, including OFA-certified X-rays, gives us a comprehensive view of your pet’s internal organs and musculoskeletal system that we otherwise could not see. It is a valuable diagnostic tool that helps veterinarians detect and prevent illness, particularly hereditary conditions that may affect your pet’s quality of life.
The use of radiology, including OFA-certified X-rays, is safe, and our entire staff is highly trained in its use. It is our goal to provide your pet with the highest level of medical care possible, and this is just one of the many ways we achieve that.
