Radiology
Our board-certified veterinary radiologist provides diagnostic imaging services and interpretation needed to help diagnose certain medical conditions and tailor treatment plans for pets in Memphis.
Board-Certified Veterinary Radiologist
A board-certified radiologist is someone who has undergone advanced training in all diagnostic imaging modalities. We are pleased to have Dr. Jenny Miller, the only board-certified radiologist in West Tennessee. Dr. Miller provides imaging services for our in-house patients, as well as outpatient ultrasound services and radiology telemedicine consults for referring veterinarians.
Radiology Services
Diagnostic imaging is the use of electromagnetic radiation and other technologies to produce highly detailed images of the internal structures of your pet's body to help provide accurate diagnosis.
The following imaging modalities are available at Memphis Veterinary Specialists:
- Digital X-Ray
- Fluoroscopy
- Ultrasound
- Computed Tomography (CT scan)
Telemedicine
Dr. Miller is available to review and consult on X-rays of your pet performed by your referring veterinarian through telemedicine if needed. For more information regarding this, your veterinarian can contact our radiology coordinator
Ultrasound
Abdominal, cardiac, and thoracic ultrasound, as well as ultrasound of other body regions of interest, are available.
We also provide outpatient ultrasound services for referring veterinarians to help assist them in their diagnostic work-up.
Outpatient Ultrasound Referrals
Computed Tomography (CT scan)
Memphis Veterinary Specialists and Emergency is one of the only hospitals in West Tennessee equipped with an on-site 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.
Dr. Miller works closely with our other specialists to interpret CT images and help them formulate a diagnostic treatment plan.
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.
