Join us at Sage Veterinary Imaging where our mission is to improve the lives of pets by getting ANSWERS with advanced human-quality imaging technology.
We elevate patient care through timely imaging that guides medical decision-making. As an innovative outpatient diagnostic imaging group based in Round Rock, Texas, we deliver definitive answers for pets, their owners, and our referring veterinarians. By leveraging advanced human-quality imaging technologies like 3T MRI, 128 slice CT, X-ray, and ultrasound, coupled with our cutting-edge digital cytology lab, we ensure optimal diagnostic accuracy, which allows our referring veterinarians to plan the most effective treatments. Our ACVR-accredited clinics are teaching institutions that train veterinary interns and residents to become radiologists, and the technical staff is a critical part of that process. Here, your technical expertise is not just valued—it's instrumental in our mission.
