Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging - Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, CVMBS, Colorado State University

Our team of six on-site board-certified radiologists and an experienced technological staff deliver the highest level of veterinary radiology services to our patients, veterinarians and research scientists, while at the same time training our professional veterinary students. All images are networked and stored in a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and the imaging requests and reports are managed through a radiology information system (RIS).

We have decades of experience utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to serve the medical imaging needs of veterinary patients including small companion animals (dogs and cats), large animals (including performance and sport horses, wool and fiber animals, cattle and other farm animals) and exotic, avian and zoo animals. Our services include:

Digital Radiology (X-ray Imaging) Examinations of the thorax, abdomen and skeleton Special contrast procedures to evaluate the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, spine, joints and heart		Radiation Treatment Planning Sophisticated computerized radiation treatment planning uses PET-CT, CT, MRI and image fusion for cancer treatment
PET-CT and Nuclear Medicine Small Animal PET-CT for cancer imaging (detection, grading, staging and evaluating cancer treatment), brain and cardiovascular assessment Feline hyperthyroid diagnosis and therapy Gamma camera nuclear medicine imaging for bone, thyroid and kidney scans and detecting portosystemic shunts Equine nuclear medicine bone scans		Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) High field 1.5 Tesla MR for excellent imaging of the brain, spinal cord, joints and tendons Advanced MR procedures such as diffusion imaging, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and spectroscopy (MRS) MRI compatible anesthesia and monitoring equipment for maximal patient safety
Computed Tomography (CT) 16 slice state-of-the-art CT scanner for rapid imaging Small animal imaging of the skull, spine, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs Equine imaging of the teeth, sinuses, skull, brain and distal limbs (including stifle joint)		Ultrasound Imaging (Ultrasonography) Evaluation of soft tissue organs including those of the abdomen, thorax, neck and musculoskeletal system Doppler analysis for vascular examinations US-guided aspirates and biopsies
