Frequently Asked Questions
CT reports will be interpreted and finalized by a board-certified radiologist and sent to the referring veterinarian within two business days.
If a same-day CT scan is needed, please contact us to check availability. Same-day CT scans are available on a case-by-case basis. If that day is not available, we typically are able to schedule a CT scan within one business day.
Please send all updated medical records, including recent bloodwork (CBC/chemistry). Bloodwork is valid for three months prior to the anesthetic event. A physical exam will be performed by a doctor at HVS on the morning of the procedure.
Drop-offs are scheduled at 7:30am on the morning of the CT scan. HVS will contact the owners directly to schedule the pet’s pick-up time. Pick-up times are generally in the afternoon the same day as their CT.
A higher-slice CT scanner produces faster scan times, which results in reduced sedation and anesthesia times for your patient. It also provides higher quality images.
