Veterinary Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology utilizes advanced imaging tools, like fluoroscopy (video X-ray), CT, MRI, and ultrasound, to treat certain conditions, such as tracheal collapse and cardiac conditions. These minimally invasive procedures can be a highly effective alternative to conventional surgery while reducing your pet’s discomfort and recovery time.

What to Expect from Interventional Radiology

Many interventional radiology procedures require pets to be very still. Because that can be difficult for pets, we often use sedation or anesthesia which requires special preparation like making sure your pet has not eaten (fasted) before the procedure. Before your visit, our team will provide all the information you will need and answer all your questions about the procedure.

During the procedure, your radiologist will use advanced imaging to see inside your pet’s body. Then they insert a small tool like a needle, tube, or wire through a small cut. They use the imaging to guide the tool to deliver treatment direct to the part of the body that needs it.

A doctor will meet with you to discuss your pet’s diagnosis and treatment plan. They will answer any questions you may have, too. Our team also partners with your family veterinarian to provide the best treatment options for your pet.
