Common questions from Lakeway pet owners and veterinarians about advanced imaging at Sage.

Our imaging center is located at 1220 E McNeil Road in Round Rock, Texas, approximately 35 minutes northeast of Lakeway via TX-71 East to I-35 North. The facility is behind Round Rock Animal Hospital, near the CatDog sculpture at Austin Stone Church.
Most veterinary MRI systems operate at 1.5T or lower. Our 3-Tesla MRI is the same hospital-grade technology used in leading human medical centers, producing significantly more detailed images. This higher resolution is particularly valuable for detecting subtle neurological conditions, small tumors, and complex joint pathology that lower-field systems may miss.
Sage is a dedicated outpatient imaging center, not a full specialty hospital. By focusing exclusively on diagnostic imaging, we avoid the overhead costs associated with maintaining emergency departments, surgical suites, and overnight hospitalization. This streamlined model allows us to provide the same advanced technology and board-certified interpretation at approximately 20% lower cost.
Yes. We operate under a collaborative referral model where your primary veterinarian refers your pet for imaging. This ensures the study is appropriate for your pet's specific condition and that results integrate seamlessly into your pet's overall treatment plan with continued veterinary oversight.
