Accurate and Thorough Pet X-Rays
for Pets in Bryan, College Station, TX & Beyond

When your dog or cat is experiencing unexplained pain, an injury, or other concerning symptoms, your veterinarian may recommend pet X-rays to get a closer look at what is happening inside the body. At Briarcrest Veterinary Clinic, we provide in-house radiology services to help our veterinarians evaluate your pet and gather important information that may not be available through a physical examination alone.


Pet X-rays can provide valuable images of your pet's bones, joints, chest, abdomen, and other areas of the body. By combining diagnostic imaging with a physical examination, medical history, and other testing when appropriate, our veterinary team can develop a more complete understanding of your pet's condition and determine the appropriate next steps for care.

When Does Your Pet Need an X-Ray?

There are many situations where X-rays may help you evaluate your pet's health. X-rays may be recommended when a pet has experienced an injury or when symptoms suggest an underlying problem that cannot be identified through a physical examination alone.


We may recommend pet X-rays to evaluate:


  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Joint and bone abnormalities
  • Lameness or unexplained pain
  • Injuries following an accident or trauma
  • Chest and respiratory concerns
  • Abdominal concerns
  • Swallowed objects or foreign bodies
  • Certain gastrointestinal problems
  • Other unexplained symptoms or changes in your pet's health


Our veterinarians can review the available information along with your pet's examination findings to help determine what may be causing their symptoms and what type of treatment or additional diagnostic testing may be appropriate.

In-House Pet Radiology

At Briarcrest Veterinary Clinic, we have full radiology capabilities available in-house. Having diagnostic imaging available at our clinic allows our veterinary team to obtain important information about your pet without relying solely on an outside diagnostic facility.


X-rays can provide our veterinarians with a closer look at areas that cannot be fully evaluated during a physical examination. The images may help identify abnormalities involving your pet's bones, joints, chest, abdomen, or other areas of concern.

  • What Happens During a Pet X-Ray?

    Our team will explain what to expect and help keep your pet as comfortable as possible throughout the process. Depending on the area being examined and your pet's individual circumstances, positioning may be necessary to obtain clear images.


    In some cases, sedation may be recommended if a pet is painful, anxious, unable to remain still, or requires a particular position for diagnostic imaging.
