Diagnostic Imaging

When your pet has a problem, finding out what's wrong quickly and accurately is vital. That's why we've invested heavily in the very best diagnostic equipment and training available.

Bondi Vets is proud to offer advanced digital x-ray technology for our patients. X-rays are one of the most useful tests when it comes to diagnosing your pet. X-rays are used to identify the location and severity of fractures, spot symptoms of heart disease, identify foreign bodies in your pet's stomach and much more.

Digital x-ray technology allows us to produce high-quality, high-resolution x-ray images more quickly than traditional film x-rays, leading to less time on the x-ray table (and less stress) for your pet. These images also can be emailed or saved to a disc, allowing for fast consultations with specialists, when necessary.

Ultrasound is an advanced imaging technique that uses soundwaves to provide a real-time moving image of your pet's internal organs. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing abdominal and cardiac problems and can also be used to detect abdominal fluid, tumours and foreign bodies and other illnesses.

Bondi Vets utilises an ultrasound specialist (who comes to our hospital) for abdominal and cardiac ultrasound procedures.

At Bondi Vets we have flexible video endoscopes which are tiny fibre-optic cameras used to look inside our patients. This technique means many procedures (like retrieving fish hooks from stomachs!) that would have previously involved major surgery can be done without the need for a more invasive procedure. These are also used for diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy or gastroscopy.
