Computed Tomography (CT)
CT is an invaluable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, helping our doctors evaluate lesions discovered during clinical exams or with preliminary imaging methods. CT also plays an important role in pre-surgical planning and in quickly assessing certain trauma patients. And if your pet should need radiation therapy, CT provides us with images that guide us to the best outcomes.
A selection of study types:
Brain
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
Mass evaluation
Temporal region ears, tympanic bulla, TMJ
Dental exam
Trauma
Ultrasound
High-frequency sound waves give us a look inside your pet’s body, without using radiation. The resulting ultrasound images are captured in real-time, showing the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through vessels. Ultrasound imaging can be performed using minimal restraint or sedation and is invaluable in diagnosing many conditions. We also use ultrasound to guide biopsies for pinpoint accuracy.
Digital X-Ray
X-rays are typically the first imaging studies we order to help diagnose problems. They can help uncover disease in the chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system, and can also reveal internal obstructions.
