Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging

- 3047 Edinger Ave, Tustin, CA 92780

For pet owners in the California region, especially in Orange County, securing a precise diagnosis for a complex or hidden health condition can be the most critical step toward effective treatment and improved quality of life. Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging (AVMI), operating as a highly specialized Animal Hospital and Veterinarian facility in Tustin, CA, is dedicated to providing exactly that—the clearest possible picture of your pet’s internal health. This is not a Primary Veterinary Care center, but a specialty facility focused entirely on advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging and Diagnostic And Therapeutic services.

AVMI utilizes state-of-the-art technology, far exceeding the basic X-Rays typically found in a general practice. Their specialized services include high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT Scanning), and advanced Nuclear Medicine for both Diagnostic Procedure and targeted therapeutic treatments, such as Radiation Therapy for Canine Thyroid Carcinoma and Feline Hyperthyroidism. This level of Comprehensive Care is essential when dealing with subtle neurological issues, internal organ disease, or difficult-to-diagnose cancers.

The advantage of choosing a dedicated Diagnostic Imaging center is evident in the quality of the results and the speed of service. As one pet owner noted, they were able to receive an MRI scan on the same day, which was a "fraction of the price from another clinic," and they received their pet safe and sound with the Digital Imaging scans immediately available. This efficiency allows your pet’s regular veterinarian to quickly establish a definitive treatment plan, which is vital when a health concern is critical.

However, as with any specialty facility handling complex cases that require General Anesthesia and extended stays for Radiation Treatment, the process requires strong communication. While many clients report high satisfaction and peace of mind from the technical capabilities, some feedback indicates that communication challenges can arise during high-stress periods, particularly concerning in-house patient monitoring and transparency regarding changes in a pet’s condition or housing. It is worth noting that for pets requiring an overnight stay, AVMI provides Supportive Services, including access to their iCat webcams for owners to view their hospitalized hyperthyroid cats during certain hours—a feature designed to ease separation anxiety, though availability may be limited by the pet's condition. The core mission remains to provide superior technical care, but Pet Owners are encouraged to maintain open dialogue and clarify patient care protocols and communication expectations upon admission, particularly for anxious or "spicy" companions.

Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging is centrally located in Tustin, CA, placing it within accessible range for pet owners throughout Southern California who require specialized imaging and therapeutic services. The facility is situated near other specialized animal hospitals, fostering a collaborative environment for Comprehensive Care.
