New pet imaging service offered at Virginia Tech’s School of Veterinary Medicine

Gracie seems a little nervous the same as any pet or person would be during a trip to the doctor.  Virginia Tech’s Vet School is known for its specialty treatments.

Dr. Greg Daniel, Head of Small Animal Clinical Sciences explains, “We can provide state of the art advanced imaging capabilities to area veterinarians.“

But now, they are taking that treatment a step further.  Veterinarian, Radiologists like Doctor Reid Tyson will share their test results with your vet in order to keep your pets care closer to home.

Dr. Tyson says,“The best part is keeping that relationship with their own veterinarians, people through the years like their family practitioner and they love their family veterinarians so this allows them to keep that relationship.“

Whether your pet is coming in for an Ultra-sound MRI or CT Scan, one of the main benefits is that they are in and out in one day.  Then, your veterinarian has those results within 48 hours.

Doctor Daniel says the new service allows local vets to remain a part of continuing care and treatment something they couldn’t do in the past.

He says,“Usually advanced procedures… expensive equipment also requiring a level of expertise in interpretation.“

Interpreting 3D images for outpatient care is now providing more pet care options for you and your four legged family member.
