Radiology & Ultrasound

With a digital x-ray and ultrasound onsite, we can diagnose your pet’s conditions and share results with specialist providers when necessary.

Radiology

Radiology is the medical discipline that uses diagnostic imaging (radiography, ultrasound, computerized tomography, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and treat diseases within the bodies of animals.

Radiography is the most common imaging procedure used in veterinary practices. The x-ray images (radiographs) produced from this modality are identical to those produced in human hospitals, but are specialized for dogs, cats, and other animals. X-rays work well for imaging bone, foreign objects, and abnormalities of the abdomen and thorax.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is the second most common imaging modality in veterinary medicine. Ultrasound is much better at imaging the soft tissues within the body compared to x-rays. Ultrasounds are commonly used to visualize the abdominal organs and heart in small animal veterinary practice.

Dr Belue did very well with my pets. My oldest dog had went off his food. He spent all weekend trying to coax him to eat. The cats were taken good care of and my new fur baby puppy is going to him. I am very happy with care they all get with this veterinarian. I recommend him. His staff is very friendly and nice.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Belue and his staff. They are very professional and courteous. Dr. Belue spent a lot of time with my babies and made sure that all my questions and concerns were addressed. He took his time and made every effort to make sure that my animals were comfortable with him and his staff. I live in Muscle Shoals, AL and it is worth the drive to Dr. Belue's office for the care my babies receive.

I’ve brought my fur babies in here twice since Paradise opened and I will never go anywhere else! The techs are great and Dr. Belue is very intricate with every detail to make sure my babies are taken care of. Nice front desk staff that will answer all your questions with patience. Super clean and nice facilities AND it’s right by Paradise Pet Resort so it’s super convenient to leave them there for their appointment then pick them up on my way home from work!
