The imaging amenities boast cutting-edge equipment, including a 64-slice Siemens Somatom Perspective CT scanner with cardiac software, a 1.5T Hallmarq PetVet MRI, two Samsung RS80 ultrasound machines, Canon & Fuji Nano direct digital radiography, and Philips Pulsera & Hologic Insight C-arm fluoroscopy.
