Diagnostic Imaging

With on-site CT, X-ray, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound, we can offer efficient, advanced, and accurate diagnostic capability

Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic Imaging plays a crucial role in modern veterinary medical practice by offering accurate visualisation of internal structures. In addition to being diagnostic, it is commonly employed to assist with surgical planning, and assessing surgical feasibility. Computed Tomography (CT) serves as one of the most widely used tools for detailed cross-sectional imaging of organs, bones, and soft tissues. CT supports clinicians in identifying disease early and planning effective treatments. Along with CT, X-ray imaging, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy help vets to comprehensively evaluate patients, and individualise treatment recommendations.

Experienced in-house and remote clinical teams, including specialist radiologists, review cases, recommend most appropriate imaging options, and report studies, interpreting with care and precision, to help pet-owners understand their animals’ situation and options.

Imaging We Offer

We offer a full range of diagnostic imaging procedures for dogs and cats:

  • High-resolution CT scanning for 3D visualization of internal structures, fractures, tumors, lung diseases, and spinal conditions, using Toshiba 80 slice equipment
  • Digital radiography (X-rays) for fast and accurate assessment of musculoskeletal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and urogenital disorders.
  • Ultrasound imaging for real-time, bedside diagnosis and patient monitoring.
  • Fluoroscopy for accurate intra-operative guidance, as well as dynamic studies of the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems.
  • Contrast studies (CT, X-Ray, and Fluoroscopy) to enhance patient assessment.

 
These advanced modalities allow us to diagnose complex conditions accurately and efficiently.
