Veterinary Radiology at CVETS

Veterinary radiology is the use of x-rays, ultrasound, and advanced imaging (CT scan and MRI) in the diagnosis and ultimate treatment of your pet.

Fast and Reliable Diagnostic Imaging.

Veterinary radiology is a combination of the skill of the radiologist and the technology available to them. CVETS has the most advanced imaging equipment available and a board-certified radiologist on-staff.

Advanced Diagnostics.

The advanced diagnostic imaging equipment available at our animal hospital enables Dr. Stevenson to be able to diagnose complex illnesses and collaborate effectively with other specialists at our animal hospital.

X-Rays

An X-ray for dogs and cats is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to create detailed images of a pet’s internal structures, including bones, organs, and tissues. This diagnostic tool helps veterinarians identify various medical conditions, such as fractures, tumors, or foreign objects, by providing a clear view of the pet’s anatomy.

Ultrasounds

An ultrasound for dogs and cats is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time images of a pet’s internal organs and tissues. This diagnostic tool is particularly useful for evaluating soft tissues, such as the heart, kidneys, liver, and reproductive organs, allowing our doctors to assess their size, shape, and overall health.

CT Scans

A CT scan (computed tomography) is an advanced imaging technique that combines X-ray technology with computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of a pet’s body. This non-invasive procedure allows our doctors to visualize the internal structures, including bones, organs, and tissues in a precise manner. A CT scan is particularly useful for diagnosing complex conditions, such as tumors, fractures, or neurological issues, as it provides a clearer and more comprehensive view.

MRI

An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a non-invasive imaging technique commonly used in veterinary medicine to obtain detailed images of a pet’s internal structures, particularly the brain, spine, and soft tissues. An MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate high-resolution images. This method is particularly effective for diagnosing conditions such as tumors, spinal injuries, and neurological disorders.

Proudly Offering OFA Cardiac Exams

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is an organization that aims to promote the health and welfare of companion animals, particularly through the increased understanding and prevention of hereditary diseases.

The OFA cardiac exam specifically focuses on assessing the heart health of dogs. Our board-certified veterinary cardiologist, Dr. Rebecca Kennerly is certified to evaluate heart conditions.
