Frequently asked questions

Yes. Water is fine but no food should be given in the morning or afternoon before a CT or ultrasound scan. The VICSD team will provide more pre-appointment instructions specific for your pet.

Yes. We work closely with your pet’s veterinarian so it’s important that your veterinarian sends us a referral, all your pet’s prior medical records and any prior diagnostics that were performed so our clinicians can prepare for your pet’s appointment and scan.

Ultrasound is extremely safe and does not utilize any harmful ionizing radiation or x-rays and ultrasounds do not use any contrast dyes.

VICSD produces a detailed imaging report for you and your veterinarian. Our doctors will also discuss preliminary results with you after the scan is performed.

CT scans utilize iodine contrast so be sure to tell our team about any historical renal or kidney problems as we may want to do an ultrasound instead of a CT. But because dogs and cats have a shorter lifespan than people, the side effects of x-rays or a CT scan are very unlikely in pets.
