Our vision is to integrate Catsnap as an extension of your own radiology service.
Catsnap allows referring veterinarians to submit digital radiographic cases from their digital x-ray system for specialist review and reporting.
What We Do
Radiology
We read radiographic studies for small animal general and referral specialty practices. We strive to integrate clinical and radiographic information and provide practical recommendations.
We draw on a wide range of knowledge and experience from fellow specialists across all disciplines, and encourage collaborative medicine. Dr. Campbell DAVDC brings a unique skill set and experience in dental and maxillofacial imaging to our team.
Ultrasound
We read ultrasound studies generated by the referring veterinarian of all body regions including echocardiographic studies.
Ultrasonography is highly user and technology dependent; quality control is an important part of accurate ultrasonographic case submission.
We encourage submission of both radiographic and ultrasonographic studies of the region of interest as these modalities are complementary in providing accurate and pertinent information.
Advanced Imaging
We read CT and MRI studies, which are now integral modalities in small animal clinical medicine.
We also work closely with local neurologists, surgeons and internists in offering solutions and recommendations for complex cases.
