At East Hill Animal Hospital in Pensacola, we are dedicated to providing the best care for our patients. To continue offering the highest quality service, we’ve added the Vimago™ GT30 High-Resolution Imaging machine to our clinic.This advanced machine offers extremely detailed 2D/3D CT scans, fluoroscopy, and digital radiology. With this technology, we can diagnose conditions more quickly and accurately, leading to better pet outcomes.
What Makes the Vimago™ GT30 Special?
The Vimago™ GT30 is not just another imaging machine; it’s a significant advancement in veterinary diagnostics. Its ultra-high-resolution images allow us to see details that might be missed with traditional methods. For example, we can detect complex brain tumors, small tumors in the pancreas (insulinomas), and subtle masses in the urethra that might not be visible on regular ultrasounds or X-rays.
One of the unique features of the Vimago™ GT30 is its ability to perform fluoroscopy. This technique allows us to see real-time images, particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like an enlarged esophagus (megaesophagus) and hiatal hernias. Watching these processes as they happen gives us valuable insights that improve our diagnostic abilities.
Comprehensive Care for Many Conditions
The Vimago™ GT30’s versatility means it can be used to diagnose a wide range of issues, such as tumors in the mouth and nose, broken jaws, and dental diseases. The detailed images help us catch problems early, leading to more effective treatments and better patient outcomes.
All images from the Vimago™ GT30 are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, ensuring each diagnosis is accurate and based on expert analysis. This combination of advanced technology and professional expertise ensures the best possible pet care.
Emergency and Same-Day Services
We know how necessary quick action is in emergencies. That’s why we offer same-day imaging services for urgent cases. Our team is available Monday through Friday for regular CT scans so your pet can promptly get the care they need. A quick diagnosis can reduce stress and improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Partnership with Referring Veterinarians
At East Hill Animal Hospital, we value our referring veterinarians’ relationships with their clients. We are committed to maintaining and enhancing that trust. When a case is referred to us, we treat the referring veterinarian as our primary client and ensure that all communication about consent forms, care after the procedure, and diagnostic results goes back to the referring veterinarian.
We simplify the referral process by only requiring minimal information from the referring veterinarian, allowing them to focus on patient care. After completing the imaging, we promptly return the results to the referring veterinarian.
Safe and Quick Procedures
The safety and comfort of our patients are our top priorities. Before any imaging procedure, we do a thorough assessment, including recent blood work. We use general anesthesia to ensure the pet’s comfort during the procedure. Most procedures are completed in under 20 minutes, minimizing the time pets spend under anesthesia and allowing them to recover quickly.
