Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging encompasses the disciplines of radiography, ultrasonography, fluoroscopy and three-dimensional imaging (computerized tomography, or CT, and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI). Images acquired using these technologies are used to help differentiate normal from abnormal anatomy and to help determine the cause of disease. When correlated with your pet's concerns, it allows for the creation of individualized recommendations to help expedite your pet's recovery.

Imaging studies may be recommended by one of our veterinarians during your pet's stay at our hospital.  Alternatively, if your family veterinarian wishes to refer you in, you can schedule an outpatient appointment.  Our team of highly trained radiologists, associate veterinarians and technicians will perform the necessary diagnostic and report the findings back to your veterinarian such that he/she can create a plan for your pet.

Digital radiography, ultrasonography, fluoroscopy and computerized tomography are offered on-site. We can help arrange for off-site magnetic resonance imaging if it is indicated.
