Bringing advanced imaging to your pets

 

At Hong Kong Veterinary Specialty Services (HKVSS), we believe that access to advanced diagnostic imaging should never be limited by location. Although we operate as a mobile specialty referral service, our patients benefit from the same high-level diagnostic capabilities available at leading specialty hospitals through our close partnerships with dedicated veterinary imaging centres.

 

By collaborating with state-of-the-art imaging facilities equipped with Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), we are able to provide comprehensive diagnostic investigations for a wide range of complex conditions while maintaining continuity of care under the guidance of our specialist team.

 

Advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis

Advanced imaging plays a crucial role in modern veterinary medicine, allowing us to visualise structures that cannot be adequately assessed with conventional radiography or ultrasound.

 

Our imaging services are invaluable for:

​

- Investigation of neurological disorders, including brain and spinal cord disease

- Diagnosis and staging of cancer to determine the extent of disease and guide treatment decisions

- Surgical planning for complex orthopaedic, neurological, oncological and soft tissue procedures

- Evaluation of complex trauma and congenital abnormalities

- Investigation of difficult or inconclusive medical cases

- Investigation of lameness

 

Every imaging study is carefully selected based on the individual patient's condition to ensure that the most appropriate diagnostic information is obtained.

 

Seamless specialist care:

As your patient's specialist, we remain involved throughout the entire diagnostic process. We coordinate imaging appointments, review the scans personally, integrate the findings with the patient's clinical examination, and discuss the results and treatment options with both the referring veterinarian and the pet owner.

This collaborative approach ensures that advanced imaging is not simply a diagnostic test, but an integral part of a comprehensive specialist evaluation.

This collaborative approach allows as well some better control of the costs involved whenever your budget is limited.

 

One anaesthesia, one plan:

For selected patients, advanced imaging and definitive surgery can be performed during the same anaesthetic event.

Following CT or MRI examination, the images can be reviewed immediately, allowing surgical planning to be finalised without delay. Where appropriate, patients can proceed directly to surgery, reducing the need for multiple anaesthetic episodes, shortening the overall treatment timeline, and allowing earlier intervention.

 

This streamlined approach offers several important benefits:

- Reduced anaesthetic exposure

- Faster diagnosis and treatment

- Improved efficiency for owners and referring veterinarians

- Immediate surgical decision-making based on the most accurate imaging available

- Reduced costs
