Now Veterinarians and pet owners in the San Francisco Bay area have access to Accessible, Affordable and Advanced CAT scan imaging for their pets. Veterinary Healing & Advanced Imaging is a San Francisco Bay Area Veterinary resource located in Pleasant Hill, CA. CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) is a preferred diagnostic tool in human medicine but until recently has not a realistic option for imaging pets. The small number of CAT scan devices out in the field for Veterinary use are in specialty practices and are generally not accessible to most Veterinary practitioners. New technology has introduced superior, yet affordable CAT scan machines that are accessible. Veterinary Healing & Advanced Imaging employs the Epica Vimago advanced CAT scan machine at its Pleasant Hill, CA location. 

CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) or CT (Computed Tomography) are x-ray devices that take many thin "slices" of target anatomy in a study. Powerful processing by the device's computer reconstruct the data obtained and render the x-ray slices in three dimensions. Unlike a traditional x-ray which "flattens" the body tissue in overlying layers, CAT scan studies allow viewing all anatomical details in three dimensions. Information obtained can be analyzed after the study is complete which allows the user to see all tissues from every angle without overlap. The image quality and the information obtained are of far higher quality than traditional x-ray.

      

CT Scans can also be rendered in 3D, and different tissue types stripped away to look at a full 3D image, which can then be used for surgical planning, 3D printing as shown with this Parrot, and many other applications.

CAT scans are useful for examination of the head, including the sinuses and dentition, the middle and inner ear, brain, bones, spine, chest and abdomen and joints. Veterinarians or pet owners can call Veterinary Healing and Advanced Imaging direct for their pet's CAT scan appointment. Same day appointments may be available. CAT scans are generally quick procedures but do require sedation or light anesthesia to perform.

San Francisco Bay Area Veterinarians and their patients can now enjoy direct access to sophisticated Imaging and Healing Technologies at Veterinary Healing & Advanced Imaging in Pleasant Hill, CA.

Thanks to new technologies, practicing Veterinarians can now add Computed Tomography (CT) for pet diagnostic imaging to their everyday diagnostic tool kit. Up until now CT for dog and cats was rarely performed as Veterinary CT has been relatively inaccessible and expensive. Veterinary Healing and Advanced Imaging uses the new Epica™ Vimago™ Veterinary CT scanner, a remarkable High Tech solution that has reinvented Veterinary CT  imaging and made CT for pets practical and affordable. The Vimago™ allows the user to capture regular 2D radiographs, perform Veterinary Fluoroscopy studies (video x-ray for pets) as well as full Computed Tomography for pets in stunning detail. With 3D voxel resolution to 90 microns the Vimago™ brings unparalleled detail to skull, bone, abdominal and thoracic pet imaging. Now Veterinarians in the San Francisco Bay Area can refer their patients for advanced CT Imaging and use the imaging findings for everyday case management. Pet owners looking for cost-effective CT for pets now have a means to obtain the diagnostic imaging their pets need. Accessible, Affordable and Advanced Veterinary CT is now just a phone call or email request away. In many cases, same day appointments are available.

Veterinary Healing & Advanced Imaging offers Laser Therapy for Pets uses the Epica™ Artemis™ Veterinary Laser Therapy device. The Artemis™ is a High Intensity Laser Therapy unit. It delivers energy in the form of Infrared light at a unique 1064 nanometer wavelength. This allows Artemis light energy to penetrate 15 cm or more into the body, causing reduction of inflammation, stimulation of healing and tissue regeneration. The Artemis™ High Intensity laser can stimulate healing much more effectively than more common low level laser devices. Pets with inflammation anywhere (arthritic joints, soft tissues, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, non-healing wounds, surgical injuries, burns) benefit from the special healing capabilities of High Intensity Laser Therapy. (HILT for pets).
