Like humans, animals can benefit from the newest medical imaging technologies during a pet emergency. Veterinary diagnostic imaging allows us to evaluate and diagnose your pet’s condition non-invasively. Bone fractures, GI conditions, foreign bodies, and more can benefit from diagnostic imaging. We will work with you and your primary care veterinarian to provide the diagnostic imaging your pet needs. Our team will explain the process and experience associated with each diagnostic test before it is performed.

Diagnostic Modalities at SAVES:

• Radiography (X-Rays)

• POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound) - In emergency veterinary medicine, a rapid ultrasound is performed to answer specific diagnostic questions and quickly identify life-threatening conditions and assess patient stability. Unlike a full diagnostic ultrasound that gives an in-depth analysis of each organ, POCUS targets specific areas of the body to quickly assess conditions like free fluid and pneumothorax in trauma cases and in patients experiencing life-threatening conditions.

If you are a veterinarian and you would like to transfer a patient or if you have any questions, please give us a call at (603) 306-0007 to discuss before transferring.
