How it works
- Call: Veterinarians who wish to use GatorVetImaging should call our dedicated phone number (352-273-8585) to communicate with a GatorVetImaging liaison.
- Request: Prior to small animal appointments, veterinarians will need to complete an Image Request Form/Small Animal CT or Image Request Form Small Animal MR
- Blood Work: A pre-anesthesia CBC and serum chemistry profile is required within 2 weeks of the imaging appointment
- Submission: The image request form and blood work results should be submitted to GatorVetImaging via fax (352-294-9877 ) or e-mail, GVI@vetmed.ufl.edu.
- Review: UF anesthesiologists and radiologists will review this information before the requested procedure is performed.
- Admission: When a client comes to UF, he or she will meet with the veterinary clinician who will receive and admit the patient. Drs. Amy Stone or Julia Wuerz will serve as the point of contact for small animal clients; Dr. Ali Morton will serve this role for equine patients. Large animal patients will be admitted to UF the day prior to the procedure and will be discharged the day following the procedure. Small animals will be admitted and discharged the same day.
- Confirmation: This clinician will outline the imaging service goals for the client and will ensure that the necessary information and history have been obtained.
- Imaging: A general physical examination will be performed and the patient will be transported into the GatorVetImaging pre-anesthesia holding area prior to imaging.
- Discharge: Upon discharge, the client will receive a folder containing copies of essential paperwork and a CD of all images obtained through GatorVetImaging.
- Results: Within 48 hours, the veterinarian will receive a report from one of our veterinary radiologists summarizing findings from the imaging study.
