Establishing an accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of modern veterinary medicine.  An accurate history and detailed physical examination are crucial but often not enough to get to the diagnostic answer for many patients, particularly those referred for difficult problems. At BVSC, we have a suite of diagnostic tools that allow our specialist teams to magically reveal even the most stubborn and elusive diagnoses.  Because these tools are at our specialists’ fingertips at BVSC, the results are realised very quickly and economically, allowing effective treatment to be given promptly.

+  Radiology (Xray) at BVSC 

Our GE system is fast and accurate, delivering high definition images previously only attainable in well-equipped human hospitals.  With this system we can even “remove the ribs” superimposing the lungs, allowing amazing accuracy in imaging. This is the first such system available for veterinary use in Australia, so your pets get the best care.

 +  CT Scanner  (Computed Tomography) at BVSC

Our CT  scanner is from the GE – Optima family and it is a multi-slice, fast, reliable instrument which integrates with our automatic injection system, allowing us to acquire amazing contrast enhanced imaging studies.  It also doubles as our simulation instrument, allowing us to 3D computer plan cancer patients for radiation therapy.  Our planning computer is on-site as well and it “talks to” the CT scanner.  The algorithms developed by GE allow us to acquire extremely high quality and detailed studies which can be rendered and manipulated to guide our specialists to the best treatments.
