 "Ipswich Family Veterinary Clinic")
At Ipswich Family Vets, we use modern digital X-ray and ultrasound technology to help diagnose a wide range of conditions quickly and accurately. These non-invasive tools allow us to see what’s happening inside your pet’s body without the need for surgery, giving us valuable insights that lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
DIGITAL X-RAYS & ULTRASOUNDS
Fast, Accurate Diagnostics for Better Pet Care
Digital X-Rays - Clear Images, Quick Answers
Digital radiography is one of the most essential tools in veterinary medicine. It helps us assess your pet’s bones, organs, and soft tissues to detect issues such as fractures, arthritis, tumours, heart disease, lung conditions, bladder stones, or foreign objects in the stomach or intestines.
Compared to traditional X-rays, digital radiography provides sharper images and faster results—meaning your pet spends less time on the X-ray table and you get answers sooner. It’s also safer for the environment and our team, as it doesn’t require chemical processing.
If needed, we can instantly share images with veterinary specialists for a second opinion, ensuring your pet receives the most informed and up-to-date care possible.
Ultrasound - Seeing What X-Rays Can’t
Ultrasound is a gentle, pain-free imaging tool that uses sound waves to create a real-time picture of your pet’s internal organs. It’s particularly useful for examining soft tissues in the chest and abdomen, such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and heart.
Ultrasounds are often used alongside X-rays to provide a more complete picture and can help us detect conditions like fluid buildup, tumours, organ abnormalities, pregnancy, or internal bleeding. In most cases, no sedation is required and the procedure is quick and stress-free.
We perform many in-house ultrasounds for general screenings and basic diagnostic needs. For more complex cases, we partner with mobile ultrasound specialists who visit our clinic with advanced equipment, providing a seamless experience without the need to refer you elsewhere.
A Calm Experience, A Clearer Picture
Our goal is to make diagnostics as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Most imaging procedures are completed within a single visit, and your pet will typically be able to go home the same day.
By combining cutting-edge technology with compassionate care, we can confidently diagnose your pet’s condition and recommend the most effective treatment plan—without unnecessary delays.
