Cambridge Radiology Referrals

Cambridge Radiology Referrals is an outpatient, referral-only veterinary imaging service with in-house CT and ultrasound. The website describes a model where each patient is seen by a radiologist who directs and stays present throughout the procedure, making real-time decisions about scan areas and whether additional procedures (including biopsy, if possible and appropriate) can be done while the patient is there. In reviews, owners repeatedly mention detailed, unhurried explanations of imaging (including CT), thorough history-taking with lots of questions, and rapid turnaround on results (one owner reports ultrasound results ready within about an hour, followed by a sit-down discussion of findings and next steps). Several reviews also highlight the team staying calm and professional with “difficult” patients and prioritising the pet’s comfort.
