Have any risks been associated with cat diagnostic imaging? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
The ones that we do here are ultrasound and x-ray. As a person, you may think about the risk of x-ray as being radiation exposure. The same with even just a little bit with ultrasound. Our pets are exposed so infrequently or in such mild doses that I don't feel we have any risk associated directly with our patients.
