What is the procedure like for each dog diagnostic imaging tool? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
The different imaging tools listed out would be x-ray, ultrasound, ultrasound of heart versus the abdomen, and then procedures that we would refer for, such as CT, MRI, or scintigraphy. The actual procedure that the pet would go through for an x-ray would be positional. For the most part, that's on an exam table, on a tabletop. The ultrasound would require your pet to either lie or stand for that procedure. For the advanced imaging, they would require sedation or general anesthesia.
