Red Bank Veterinary Hospital Launches PET/CT Scans For Early Pet Cancer Detection

LINCROFT, NJ — Red Bank Veterinary Hospital now has PET/CT scanning for early cancer detection in pets.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital just added Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) to its advanced diagnostic services. This technology is only available at a handful of veterinary hospitals across the United States, said Red Bank Veterinary.

“Offering PET/CT places us among a very select group of veterinary hospitals nationwide,” said Peter Chapman, lead veterinarian and medical director at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital.

PET/CT combines functional and anatomical imaging to find the presence, location and extent of cancer. By detecting metabolic activity at the cellular level, PET/CT allows clinicians to identify disease earlier and with greater accuracy than traditional imaging methods.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has been providing pet care to the greater Middletown area for the past 40 years. But in the past two years they made a major move when they opened their new headquarters at 100 Schulz Drive in Middletown's Lincroft section, right off Parkway Exit 109 (Red Bank/Lincroft) and next to LifeTime luxury health club. Red Bank Veterinary Hospital is open 24/7 and provides around-the-clock emergency care for pets, plus specialty and wellness care. And they now have advanced cancer detection and cancer care for pets.
