Efficient Pathology & Diagnostic Imaging in Townsville

Diagnostic Imaging

Western Suburbs Vet Clinic prides itself on having quality equipment to aid diagnosis and treatment of your pet’s problems. Our AGFA DR X-ray system produces highly detailed images that enhance our diagnostic capabilities while minimising procedure time and radiation exposure for your pet and our staff.


Digital images also enable us to take accurate measurements and plan orthopaedic procedures with precision for the best clinical outcome.



For complex cases, we can email the images (teleradiology) and get feedback from specialists in hours. We also have an ultrasound imager which enables us to assess internal organs and take biopsies from deep within the body with great accuracy.


From orthopaedic surgeries to emergency treatments, our team is always on-hand to care for your furry friend. To learn more, call 07 4773 4111.
