If your pet needs a CT scan, the last thing you want to hear is that the next available appointment is weeks away—or that the cost will be more than you can afford. At East Hill Animal Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, we understand how urgent and stressful this situation can be. That’s why we now offer affordable, same-day CT appointments using one of the most advanced imaging machines available in veterinary medicine: the Vimago™ GT30.
Fast, Reliable Answers When You Need Them Most
Our Vimago GT30 high-definition CT scanner gives us the ability to detect complex internal conditions in your pet with unmatched accuracy, and often on the same day you call us, Monday through Friday. Whether your dog or cat is suddenly showing signs of illness, limping without explanation, or battling chronic issues without a clear diagnosis, this advanced imaging can make all the difference.
Don’t wait weeks for a referral somewhere else when your pet needs answers now.
High-Tech Imaging at a Lower Cost
CT scans at East Hill Animal Hospital are significantly more affordable than those at specialty centers or emergency facilities—often hundreds to thousands of dollars less.
And just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing quality. The Vimago GT30 delivers ultra-high-resolution 2D and 3D scans with detail down to 0.09mm—the thickness of a human hair. This means we can see the tiniest structures and abnormalities in your pet’s body from every angle, with astonishing clarity.
We also include full radiology review by a board-certified specialist for the most accurate interpretation of your pet’s images.
What Conditions Can a CT Scan Detect?
This technology allows our veterinary team to identify many conditions that can be missed with traditional X-rays or ultrasounds. Common problems we diagnose with our CT scanner include:
- Nasal or brain tumors
- Oral cancers, jaw fractures, and dental disease
- Spinal issues or herniated discs
- Hiatal hernias and megaesophagus (with fluoroscopy)
- Masses in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, or bladder
- Adrenal gland abnormalities
- Urethral obstructions
- Lung nodules or suspected cancer
We can also use real-time fluoroscopy to view how your pet’s organs move and function—something no regular X-ray or ultrasound can do.
Safe and Quick for Your Pet
All CT scans are done under light, short-term anesthesia—most pets are under for less than 20 minutes. We use safe, modern anesthesia protocols with full monitoring to ensure your dog or cat is comfortable and secure throughout the process.
Same-day cases are available Monday through Friday, and emergency cases are welcome. Our team can also perform any required bloodwork beforehand if needed.
