Veterinary Lab & Diagnostics

Our Diagnostic Services

At AnimERge in Somerset County, we are pleased to offer advanced diagnostic tools which allow our specialists and veterinarians to provide an accurate diagnosis of your pets’ medical issues.

• Digital Radiology (X-Rays)

  A radiograph, or digital x-ray, is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernible from the outside.

  Radiography is painless, safe, and completely non-invasive, and uses only very low doses of radiation. Because the level of radiation exposure needed to perform radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo radiography.

  Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones and organs and diagnose conditions including bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, spinal cord diseases and some tumors.

• Ultrasound

  Ultrasound imaging involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.

  Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. 

• Echocardiography

  Echocardiography is a non-invasive test that allows your veterinary cardiologist to directly evaluate the anatomy and function of the heart. 

  An echocardiogram is an ultrasound image of the heart and associated large blood vessels.

• Endoscopy

  An endoscope is made up of a very tiny camera and light affixed to the end of a flexible tube.

  An endoscopy is the insertion of a long, thin tube directly into the body to observe an internal organ or tissue in detail. Endoscopes are minimally invasive and can be inserted into the openings of the body such as the mouth or anus.
