It takes a team to see things differently

RadiologyInnovative therapies in veterinary medicine may help you avoid surgery for your pet. And where surgical options are sometimes limited, new therapies exist. Additionally, conventional surgeries can now be done in innovative ways that reduce recovery time and patient discomfort. Interventional radiology utilizes advanced imaging and novel techniques to provide less invasive therapy for a variety of medical problems.

And, when surgery is necessary, interventional radiology can still work as a complementary therapy to improve your pet’s condition.

Board certified specialists in internal medicine, radiology, surgery, and cardiology make up the core of the MedVet interventional radiology department. Our state of the art fluoroscopy and catheterization suite is used for interventional radiology procedures.
