Pet Radiology and X-Rays in Sacramento, CA

OPEN THURSDAY - FRIDAY 5:00pm to 9:00PM

At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we offer advanced pet radiology and imaging tests to help diagnose, monitor, and guide treatment for a wide range of conditions. Whether your pet is dealing with sudden illness, chronic disease, or post-injury complications, accurate imaging is essential for identifying what’s happening inside the body.

Our Sacramento clinic provides digital X-ray, CT imaging, and access to other specialized pet imaging methods through trusted partners. These technologies allow our veterinarians to assess everything from bone fractures and bladder issues to internal cancer and heart disease with precision and care.

Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!

How Radiology Supports Diagnosis and Treatment

Modern radiology is a safe and powerful tool for both everyday diagnostics and advanced medical evaluations. We use X-rays and digital scans to visualize your pet’s internal structures and detect early signs of disease, injury, or abnormal growth.

Our radiology services help us:

  • Identify fractures, tumors, or arthritis

  • Evaluate heart disease and lung function

  • Detect cancer cells or internal development problems

  • Track recovery after injury or treatment

  • Diagnose GI obstructions or bladder stones

  • Support pre-surgical planning for better outcomes

These non-invasive tests produce detailed results with minimal discomfort and often no sedation, depending on the procedure.

Pet Scan Options Beyond X-Rays

For complex cases or when more detail is needed, we coordinate access to specialized pet imaging options including:

  • CT scan / CT imaging – Ideal for detailed views of soft tissues, skulls, sinuses, and internal organs

  • MRI – Used to evaluate the brain, spinal cord, and joints in high-resolution detail

  • PET scan / Positron Emission Tomography – Helps detect cancer, assess metabolic activity, and monitor blood flow

  • Nuclear medicine – A targeted imaging technique that involves small amounts of radioactive energy to detect abnormal function

These services are performed under the care of licensed radiologists and may be referred to trusted specialists depending on your pet’s condition. We follow all safety guidelines recommended by the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the Radiological Society for veterinary practices.

What to Expect During a Pet CT Appointment

For most standard X-rays, your pet will be gently positioned on a narrow table, and the scan will take only a few moments. In some cases, sedation or anesthesia may be recommended to reduce movement and stress, especially for CT or MRI exams.

Your veterinarian will explain any prep instructions – for example, your pet may need to drink plenty of water before a scan, pause certain medications or herbal supplements, or fast for several hours. After the imaging is complete, we will review the results and provide a detailed consultation to discuss next steps, potential treatment, or further testing.

Some patients may describe a cold sensation during contrast studies, especially in tests that assess blood flow or metabolic activity.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Dr. Sam saved my baby...

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

I drove 95 miles to have Dr. Sam at Broadway Vet perform surgery on my kitten. The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none and I will be a return customer for all my future veterinary needs! My kitty bounced back so quickly because Dr. Sam is an expert in his field and knew just what needed to be done. Highly recommend Broadway Veterinary Hospital! Thanks, Dr. Sam!
