advanced imaging & Diagnostics
Advanced Imaging Now Available at VESH!
VESH is extremely pleased to announce that we have added advanced imaging (CT) to our facility.
CT is a very useful tool to further evaluate the following conditions:
- Trauma (thoracic or abdominal trauma, severe dyspnea)
- Lung disorders (bronchial disease, thromboembolic disease, lung lobe torsion)
- Tissue abnormalities (masses, metastases detection, vascular abnormalities)
- Neurologic disorders (IVDD, space occupying masses, neoplasia)
- Nasal diseases in cats and dogs with chronic nasal discharge (neoplasia, fungal, foreign body)
- Orthopedic abnormalities (elbow and hip dysplasia, neoplasia, fracture reconstruction)
- Surgery plan (pinpoint exact location of tumors)
CT scans are interpreted by a board certified radiologist.
We are pleased to be the only facility to bring advanced imaging to the area. If you believe your pet would benefit from a CT scan, speak with your regular veterinarian about making a referral to VESH. For appointments, call us at (413) 665-4931, or fax (413) 665-4934
