Digital Radiography
The radiology equipment at BSVESS includes a high-quality digital radiology suite that provides high-resolution images. Our doctors are well trained in interpretation of X-ray studies, but they also benefit from the added experience of the board-certified radiologist at our sister hospital, Ocean State Veterinary Specialists. The radiologist formally interprets all images taken at BSVESS.
Dr. Susan Newell, the radiologist at OSVS, is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) and has almost 20 years of experience in the field. In addition to reading the X-ray studies for BSVESS, Dr. Newell is available at OSVS to provide ultrasound, CT, and MRI scanning, as well as radioactive iodine therapy for cats with hyperthyroidism.
Advancing Patient Care
Ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures allow non-surgical biopsy of internal structures to obtain a rapid, minimally invasive diagnosis of many conditions. The radiologist reviews all radiographs taken in the hospital and is available for formal review of radiographs taken by other hospitals.
Specialized radiographic procedures for hip dysplasia (OFA) are available as direct appointments. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and CT scanning are available on site Monday through Saturday. View a gallery of images from select cases diagnosed with advanced imaging.
In addition to diagnostic imaging, the radiologist is responsible for providing Radioactive Iodine therapy for hyperthyroid cats. Ocean State Veterinary Specialists accepts patients based on the referral of the family’s regular veterinarian. If you feel your pet would benefit from the services offered in our Diagnostic Imaging Department, please speak to your veterinarian about a referral.
