When your beloved dog or cat needs diagnostic imaging, waiting weeks or even months for answers can feel unbearable. At East Hill Animal Hospital, we understand how stressful that can be. That’s why our Pensacola facility offers state-of-the-art 3-D CT (computed tomography) imaging with next-day appointments often available, so you don’t have to travel out of the area or wait to find out what’s wrong with your pet.
Bringing Cutting-Edge Veterinary Imaging to Pensacola
Our hospital, located at 801 E. Cervantes Street in Pensacola, FL, features one of the region’s most advanced imaging systems. The Vimago™ GT30 HDVI scanner technology goes beyond traditional CT scans by producing ultra-high-resolution 3-D images of your pet’s internal anatomy, allowing our veterinarians to see details that standard X-rays or ultrasounds may miss.
The result? Faster, more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatment plans that improve outcomes for pets across Northwest Florida and the Gulf Coast.
Why Choose 3-D CT Imaging?
Unlike conventional 2D imaging, a 3DCT scan provides a full, layered view of your pet’s bones, organs, and tissues. This advanced diagnostic tool can help identify a wide range of conditions, including:
- Orthopedic injuries such as torn ligaments or complex fractures
- Dental and jaw abnormalities
- Cancer detection and staging
- Ear and nasal issues (especially in breeds prone to sinus problems)
- Neurological conditions such as spinal or brain disorders
- Internal organ diseases, including heart, liver, and lung conditions
Because CT imaging provides such detailed insight, it helps veterinarians plan surgeries, pinpoint the source of pain, or detect subtle changes that could otherwise go unnoticed.
No More Long Waits or Long Drives
Many pet owners in Pensacola have faced long wait times when referred to specialty centers hours away in Mobile, Tallahassee, or even New Orleans. That’s no longer necessary. East Hill Animal Hospital offers local CT appointments without the long wait times, with results available within days.
Whether your family veterinarian has referred you or you’re coming directly to us, we make scheduling simple and convenient. Our in-house imaging suite enables our team to perform the scan, review results, and consult with specialists quickly, without the added stress of coordinating multiple appointments across different cities.
What to Expect During a CT Scan
The CT imaging process at East Hill Animal Hospital is designed with your pet’s safety and comfort in mind. Most scans take less than 20 minutes, and because the machine operates quietly, pets experience minimal stress. For best results, light sedation is typically used to keep your pet still during the scan.
Once complete, our veterinarians and imaging specialists analyze the 3D images immediately. These detailed scans help us create a clear picture of your pet’s condition, leading to faster, more confident treatment decisions.
