imaging studies are performed annually. This includes a robust
advanced imaging caseload. The 208,000 sq. ft. Bailey Small Animal
Teaching Hospital opened in February 2014. This hospital features
two Siemens x-ray rooms with digital plates, one with fluoroscopy.
There are two additional direct digital rooms equipped with Canon
plates, one for after-hours emergency imaging and one located in
our onsite community practice clinic. There are two large
ultrasound rooms housing Toshiba Aplio 300 and 500 ultrasound
machines with elastography (strain and shear wave) and
microvascular imaging capabilities. We also have a separate room
for ultrasound patient preparation and ample space dedicated to
dictation and teaching.

equine patients with a retrofitted GE VCT 16 slice helical CT.
Toshiba Aplio i700 and i600 ultrasound equipment is also available
in the large animal hospital. The Ware Imaging Building houses our

IT department which provides support to the small and large
teaching hospitals.
