Outpatient CT Services
A CT scan will be performed on the requested region of the pet under general anesthesia. The images will then be reviewed by our consulting radiologist who will generate a written report complete with recommendations for further diagnostics and care for your patient. STAT reports can be available, but additional charges may apply. Please call the office to discuss further. All pets will be referred back to your practice for continued care.
