Choosing the Right Imaging Modality: A Guide for Referring Veterinarians
When a patient presents with vague or complex symptoms, choosing the most appropriate imaging tool isn’t always straightforward. That’s why we created this quick-reference guide to help you localize clinical signs, select the most effective first-line modality, and determine when advanced imaging or referral to Sage Veterinary Imaging may be indicated.
This guide was designed by board-certified radiologists to streamline triage, reduce unnecessary delays, and support your decision-making from day one. Whether you're managing a limping dog, a cat with PU/PD, or a neurologic emergency, you’ll find a clear diagnostic pathway tailored to your case.
At Sage Veterinary Imaging, we’re not a specialty hospital—we’re your diagnostic partner. You stay in charge of the case, and we provide the imaging clarity and same-day reporting that helps you move forward with confidence.
