Northwoods
Animal Hospital utilizes on-site, modern x-ray equipment to provide
high quality radiographs as a tool in the diagnosis of many internal
disorders. Radiographs are able to show some bone disorders like
cancer, fractures and arthritis. It is also helpful to diagnose many
internal disorders such as pneumonia, congestive heart failure, bladder
stones, foreign bodies and some intestinal disorders.
Additionally, Northwoods Animal Hospital offers ultrasonography services. Ultrasound technology is used to visualize muscles, tendons and internal organs, their size, structure and any pathological lesions. It is used as a tool to diagnose many internal diseases and organ health. Northwoods utilizes a mobile ultrasound team, East Coast Veterinary Imaging (ECVI), to perform these services. ECVI is a team of board certified radiologists, Dr. Cynthia Godschalk and Dr. Margie Blaik, along with a team of trained veterinary assistants.
