At VERG, we believe every pet deserves the most advanced medical care available, and that starts with accurate diagnosis. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging center in Brooklyn, NY, provides a full range of tools, including digital X-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, CT, and MRI. With technology on par with human hospitals, such as a human-grade 1.5 MRI scanner, 64-slice CT scanner, and fluoroscopy, we’re able to pinpoint health concerns quickly and precisely to create the best possible treatment plan.
If your pet is facing an urgent condition or your primary care veterinarian has referred you for advanced diagnostics, you can trust our team to deliver answers.
Digital X-Rays & Fluoroscopy for Pets
Digital X-rays remain one of the most essential tools in veterinary medicine, providing a quick and painless way to evaluate your pet’s bones, chest, and abdomen. At VERG Brooklyn, our digital radiographs offer superior image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. For more complex cases, we also use fluoroscopy, a dynamic, real-time X-ray that allows our specialists to observe movement inside your pet’s body, such as swallowing, joint motion, or tracheal collapse. Together, these imaging methods give us a clearer, more complete picture of your pet’s health.
Cat & Dog Ultrasounds
Ultrasound is a diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to create a detailed image of your pet's internal organs. This is a noninvasive test and helps to evaluate the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, intestines, pancreas, and urinary bladder. This testing can be done on both in-patients and out-patients. We welcome referrals from primary care veterinarians who need abdominal ultrasounds on their patients.
We also provide echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds), which give a detailed look at heart structure and function. Using our Doppler ultrasound machine, our cardiologists can detect murmurs, valve disorders, and other cardiac issues, ensuring timely and effective treatment for pets with heart disease.
Cat & Dog Endoscopy
Sometimes, looking inside your pet requires more than X-rays or ultrasound. That’s where endoscopy comes in. Using specialized cameras, we can examine the gastrointestinal tract, nasal passages, ears, and airways without the need for invasive surgery. Our Brooklyn animal hospital offers a wide range of endoscopic procedures, including otoscopy, bronchoscopy, rhinoscopy, and colonoscopy. These minimally invasive techniques often allow us to both diagnose and treat conditions, such as retrieving a foreign object or taking biopsies, while helping your pet recover faster and with less discomfort.
CT & MRI for Brooklyn Pets
When pets need the most advanced imaging available, VERG Brooklyn offers both CT and MRI.
-
CT Scans
With our 64-slice CT scanner, we can produce highly detailed cross-sectional images of bones, lungs, and soft tissues. CT is especially valuable for identifying tumors, trauma, or complex skeletal conditions.
-
MRI
Using our human-grade 1.5 MRI scanner, we can capture unparalleled images of the brain, spinal cord, and other soft tissues. MRI is the gold standard for evaluating neurological symptoms and conditions such as seizures, eye and inner ear disorders, paralysis, or intervertebral disc disease.
