Our Framlingham surgery has an imaging room with an x-ray machine, automatic x-ray processor and radiograph viewers.



Radiography is useful in the diagnosis of many conditions including:



• Fractures and arthritis
• Heart and lung disease
• Foreign bodies e.g. needles, stones
• ​Tumours

Our x-ray room is lead lined and only trained clinical staff may use it. Mostly your pet would be sedated or anaesthetised for their x-ray unless they were too unwell to cope in which case a concious radiograph would be attempted. The x-ray is processed within about five minutes so enabling rapid diagnosis where a clear cut image is obtained.
