Diagnostic Imaging
Almost every patient at Canada West requires some diagnostic imaging. Whether your pet has abdominal pain that requires a detailed assessment of internal organs, a complicated bone fracture that warrants precise evaluation of the injuries to plan surgery or is having a seizure disorder that necessitates a close look at the brain, diagnostic imaging is in order.
Radiologists are experts in the interpretation of all imaging modalities, from diagnostic radiology (X-rays) to ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT or CAT scans), magnetic resonance (MRI), and nuclear medicine. In addition, they perform interventional procedures such as obtaining samples by fine needle aspirates and biopsies.
