Radiology
Department When a pet is admitted to our hospital,
family members often have many questions. We hope the information
provided will help you understand how we deliver specialized
veterinary radiology services and help ease any concerns your family
may have.
General Information
 The
Radiology Department of Long Island Veterinary Specialists
serves as a center of professional activity within the hospital.
Almost every patient referred to Long Island Veterinary Specialists,
regardless of the reason, requires some form of diagnostic imaging
to arrive at a diagnosis; hence,
the radiology department acts as a
hub through which many of the clinicians pass each day while caring
for their patients. This common ground often
results in interactive dialogue between specialists, which
translates to better care for our patients and a shorter hospital
stay.
Efficiency, safety and
quality are the trademarks of the radiology department and all
are evident in the work performed by the staff on a daily
 basis.
All services provided by the radiology department (except outpatient
ultrasounds) are available by consultation with the appropriate
specialty service to ensure optimum patient care.
Outpatient ultrasounds are
available daily and are arranged by the family veterinarian.

After Hours
Should a problem arise
after normal business hours, the Radiology Department is covered by
the Animal Emergency and Critical Care Center
at Long Island Veterinary Specialists. It is always best to call in
advance when possible, however, if problems arise, do not hesitate
to bring your pet in immediately. This facility is staffed 24-hours
by veterinarians and nurses ready to assist you and your pet.
Your
cooperation and understanding will help us focus our energies on
patient care. We are available to answer any questions you may
have during our daily patient updates.
