Human-quality CT for pets
Our advanced CT scanner is the first 128-slice, human-grade system for pets in Texas and Utah. Its speed means many patients skip anesthesia.
CT is our specialty and your pet is our primary focus.
When you visit Sage Veterinary Imaging for a CT, your pet will be carefully monitored by a dedicated, experienced staff, and expertly imaged using state-of-the-art equipment. Your pet will be sent back to you with an immediate call to discuss our findings.
We want to help you find a solution and a treatment plan.
You won’t just get images from us, but also a team approach that we refer to as our circle of care, as we work closely with your vet and recognized experts in internal medicine and neurology to help guide treatment options.
What is CT for cat and dogs?
Computed tomography (CT) uses X-rays to produce multiple images of the inside of the body and provides thin, cross-sectional “slices” for viewing. CT scans provide much more detail than conventional X-rays. Radiologists use this specialized equipment and expertise to diagnose problems such as cancer, abnormalities of blood vessels, trauma, and musculoskeletal disorders. SVI uses a 128-slice Philips CT with 3D modeling capabilities to help you confidently diagnose and plan treatment. With the first 128-slice scanner for pets in Texas and Utah, our CT is so fast that many orthopedic and screening patients do not require anesthesia. Note that anesthesia is usually required for chest and abdomen imaging.
