To accurately
diagnose and treat many medical conditions, veterinarians must be able to “see”
the problem. That’s why GVS has a
full-time, board-certified veterinary radiologist and a dedicated Diagnostic
Imaging (Radiology) department. With a
full range of diagnostic imaging capabilities, including CT and MRI, GVS has
the ability to perform in-depth studies, and to work with your pet’s
veterinarian to “see” more clearly.
Diagnostic Imaging Services:
- Ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure using sound waves to visualize and examine many body organs and systems.
- CT and MRI both allow visualization of different parts of the body with great detail. CT is particularly useful in aiding the diagnosis of nasal disease, middle/inner ear disease, neurological disease and certain bone disorders. Chest and abdomen CT examinations are helpful in diagnosing certain problems which are difficult to diagnose with routine radiology. MRI is used to diagnose brain disorders, spinal cord disease or for difficult to diagnose soft tissue injuries.
- The use of digital radiography means finer image quality with fewer image retakes. Clinicians and technicians can adjust the contrast and balance of an image as well as crop and zoom-in on particular sections, resulting in a shorter wait between imaging and interpretation.
For Referring Veterinarians:
- Radiographic Interpretation is offered for veterinarians who would like additional analysis of a diagnostic image. Radiographs can be mailed, dropped off or emailed to our facility and an oral or formal written report format can be requested based on your needs.
- Outpatient Ultrasound is a service offered to assist veterinarians in the Atlanta area in cases where an abdominal ultrasound is necessary. The ultrasound is performed and the patient is sent back to the primary veterinarian with the ultrasound images and a full written report. Appointments can often be made within 24 hours on weekdays.
