X-Ray and Ultrasound

Taking scan

Accurate pet diagnostic imaging

When your pet is unwell or something is not right, we turn to diagnostic imaging for answers. Our clinic is equipped with modern digital  technology, a dedicated dental radiology suite, and access to expert ultrasound diagnostics, so we can assess what’s happening inside with precision and care.

We walk you through every step from what we’re looking for, to what we find, and what it means for your pet.

Our approach isn’t just about using advanced tools, it’s about interpreting what we see in the context of your pet’s whole health picture.

In-house X-rays and Advanced imaging team

Most imaging is done right here at Edgeworth. For more complex scans, like heart and detailed abdominal imaging, we partner with Newcastle Veterinary Ultrasound, an independent mobile ultrasound service. They visit our clinic weekly to perform echocardiography, guided biopsies, and in-depth internal scans.

This relationship means your pet can access specialist care in a familiar, trusted environment, with no extra travel or stress.

Pointing something on the screen

Diagnostic care for every kind of pet

We image dogs, cats, and exotic pets alike. Our technology allows for clear views of:

  • Bones, joints, and fractures
  • Chest and lung concerns
  • Dental disease and oral structures
  • Bladder, bowel and internal organs
  • Heart health (via ultrasound and ECG)
  • Masses, fluid build-up, and internal pain

We also carry radiographic contrast media to enhance views of specific systems, like the gastrointestinal or urinary tract.

Sedation and monitoring: Always pet-first

Some pets can lie still enough for images with minimal restraint. Others, especially anxious or wriggly ones, may need sedation or light anaesthesia to keep them safe and comfortable.

A dedicated vet nurse closely monitors all imaging. Your pet’s vital signs are tracked continuously, and their comfort comes first.

Worried about your pet? We’re here to help. Contact us to arrange your pet’s X-Ray and Ultrasound.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between X-rays and ultrasounds for pets?

X-rays are best for bones and dense structures. Ultrasounds provide clearer images of soft tissue organs like the heart, liver, intestines and bladder. We’ll help you choose the right one based on your pet’s needs.

Does my pet need sedation or anaesthesia for X-rays and ultrasounds?

Sometimes. If your pet is anxious, painful, or needs to stay still for detailed images, we’ll use safe sedation or general anaesthesia. You’ll be guided through every step.

Do you offer pet diagnostic imaging for exotic animals?

Yes. Our dental X-ray camera and experience with small species allow us to image birds, reptiles, rodents, and pocket pets accurately.

Who performs ultrasounds at Edgeworth?

We partner with Newcastle Veterinary Ultrasound, a highly respected independent provider. Their mobile team visits our clinic weekly to deliver expert-level scans and reports.

Can I see the digital X-Ray results straight away?

In many cases, yes. Digital X-rays provide immediate images. Ultrasound findings are usually discussed on the same day, with follow-up as needed.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Dr Nicole and the rest of the team for fitting in our dog for a torn dew claw this morning on such short notice. Ashlee on the phone was so lovely and quick to make the appointment for me. Our girl was treated with such care and we are very grateful 💕

Best vets I’ve ever been to with rabbits! Vet was so kind, gentle & knowledgeable. She not only looked after the unwell bunny, but also took our other bunnies at home into consideration. All staff were so helpful. The follow up phone call & sympathy card were so appreciated & such a beautiful touch. Will never take our pets anywhere else after such an amazing experience! 🩷

I was referred to Edgeworth vets as they have experience with bunnies and took my rabbit Ross there, he was old and not able to be saved so I had make the hard decision to have him put to sleep. The staff there were so kind and the vet I saw Kimberly was amazing. She was very kind and supportive and so gentle with Ross. I was able to stay with him while he passed and she talked me through everything. I’m so grateful to them that they helped Ross pass in a peaceful manner and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Booked it our new kitten for his first vet visit after we purchased him. The staff was so helpful and nice, plus they help us out after he did not enjoy the car trip very much. But they made him feel welcome and helped me out. The vet we sure was so helpful and answered all our questions. They even gave us a little info pack about our kitten etc. They were recommended to us by a good friend and I would 100% recommend them to anyone that has a pet that needs a caring vet.

These guys truly care. I couldn’t get my rabbit into his usual vet, however, they took him. Unfortunately it was the end of the journey for Boris and they were helpful, compassionate and loving the whole way. I even got a sympathy card 2 weeks later. Thank you for your love and care.

Fantastic vets, we have been bringing our chickens here for 3 years now and have no complaints. Recently moved our cats to Edgeworth as well. All vets we have seen here have been great as well as the vet nurses. The receptionists are very helpful, its a releif to walk in the door and know that our pets are going to be well looked after.

Thank you for the beautiful card and condolences to our family after losing a battle with Jet. She tried so hard and fought like a little champion that she was. Thank you for your ongoing support, care, advice, and strength you showed to us, so that we could be strong. Unfortunately, little Jet succumbed to her many health issues but is now pain free. We will be under Edgeworth Animal Hospital for all of feathered family members. I couldn’t have asked for more

I had an emergency with my cat, and came without an appointment. I was seen straight away. Every single interaction I had with the lovely people at this vet was amazing. They are so kind and go 110% for your fur baby. They went above and beyond and made this cat dad feel like everything was going to be ok. I cannot thank them enough.
