A board-certified radiologist is someone who has undergone advanced training in all diagnostic imaging modalities. We are pleased to have the only in-house board-certified radiologist in West Tennessee, Dr. Jenny Miller. Dr. Miller provides imaging services for our in-house patients, as well as outpatient ultrasound services and radiographic telemedicine services for referring veterinarians.

Outpatient Ultrasound Referrals
Computed Tomography (CT scan)
Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency is the only veterinary hospital in West Tennessee equipped with an on-site computed tomography (CT) scanner.
A CT scanner is an advanced, non-invasive and painless diagnostic imaging tool that allows our radiologist to view the internal anatomy of a patient by producing highly detailed cross-sectional images.
Our specialists frequently use CT scans for planning surgery and for diagnosing specific disease processes that affect certain regions in the body, such as the spine, nasal cavity, middle/inner ear, abdomen, thorax, and joints. CT scans are also often used for the detection of pet cancer and can be very helpful for treatment planning and early detection.
