Overview

At LeelaVet Hospital, diagnostic imaging stands as one of our most crucial tools in uncovering the underlying causes of illness and injury. It enables us to see beyond the surface and examine the internal structures of your pet’s body without invasive surgery. Our Diagnostic Imaging department combines advanced technology, experienced radiology professionals, and compassionate patient handling to provide high-resolution, real-time images for quick and accurate decision-making.

Whether it’s a limping dog, a vomiting cat, or a routine health check, our imaging tools are integral in diagnosing orthopedic conditions, internal abnormalities, cancer, organ dysfunctions, and much more.

Our Diagnostic Imaging Modalities

Digital Radiography (X-ray)

Radiographs are the foundation of veterinary imaging. Our high-resolution digital X-ray system captures detailed images of bones, joints, the thoracic cavity (lungs and heart), and abdominal structures. It is a fast, non-invasive diagnostic tool useful for fractures, tumors, foreign objects, pneumonia, bladder stones, and gastrointestinal blockages.

Ultrasound (USG)

Ultrasound is a dynamic, safe, and painless method that uses sound waves to evaluate soft tissues and internal organs. Our veterinarians use ultrasound to assess:

  • Liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and gastrointestinal tract

  • Cardiac structures (basic echocardiography)

  • Pregnancy monitoring and fetal viability

  • Fluid accumulation and mass characterization

Computed Tomography (CT Scan)

Our multi-slice CT scanner (available at nearby partnered facility) provides highly detailed, 3D cross-sectional images of any body region. It is especially valuable for:

  • Brain and spinal imaging

  • Nasal or inner ear disorders

  • Tumor localization and staging

  • Pre-surgical planning for complex orthopedic or neurosurgical procedures

  • Chest, abdomen, or trauma cases

Fluoroscopy

Also available via referral, fluoroscopy offers real-time, moving X-ray images, particularly helpful during interventional procedures, tracheal studies, swallowing evaluations, and surgical guidance.
