Diagnostic Imaging Telemedicine

What is telemedicine? 

Telemedicine allows us to share diagnostic images—such as radiographs (X-rays), ultrasound images, cytology samples, photographs, and detailed case information—with board-certified specialists. These specialists review the information and consult with our veterinarians to help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.

How does telemedicine work?

High-resolution images are captured using advanced cameras or scanners and uploaded securely for specialist review. The specialist evaluates the case and provides a detailed report—often within 24 hours—offering expert insight and recommendations.

Why do we use telemedicine?

Telemedicine enhances the level of care we provide by giving us access to expert opinions quickly and efficiently. Specialists can help confirm or refine a diagnosis and recommend additional testing or treatment options. This allows us to offer you the most accurate information and the best possible care for your pet—while often saving time and the expense of traveling for a second opinion..
