Will my pet need to be sedated during their visit?

Your pets comfort is prioritized at every moment. Each case is different and handled uniquely to ensure the most accurate test results. Generally, X-rays and ultrasounds don't require sedation, but CT scans and MRIs typically do to ensure your pet remains still during the procedure.

Are diagnostic imaging procedures safe for my pet?

Yes! Our specialists follow strict safety protocols. While X-rays and CT scans use minimal radiation, the benefits significantly outweigh potential risks. Ultrasound and MRI use no radiation.

Can my primary veterinarian access the imaging results?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive reports and images to your primary veterinarian to ensure continuity of care and collaborative treatment planning.
