Pet diagnostic imaging by BluePearl.

We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary diagnostic imaging team is made up of experts in using state-of-the-art imaging equipment to reveal the source of the problem, and we’re here to help.

Our commitment is not just to diagnose illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.

Services we offer.

Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).

Advanced diagnostics

Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.

  • Radiography (x-rays)
  • CT scans (computerized tomography)
  • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
  • Ultrasound
  • Contrast radiology studies

Treatment plans

Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our diagnostic imaging team delivers key diagnostic information to other specialists and your primary vet so they can develop the most effective treatment plan to get your pet on the path to wellness.

Experience makes all the difference. 

Our diagnostic imaging team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
