We are proud to collaborate with veterinary teams in zoos, aquariums, and wildlife parks across the UK, helping safeguard the health and welfare of their remarkable residents. Our clinical team of veterinary trained radiographers has had the privilege of scanning some truly extraordinary species over our 20+ year history, including a silverback gorilla, snow leopard, and our longest patient to date, an Amur tiger.
Whether you are investigating complex orthopaedic conditions, internal issues, or subtle changes in an animal’s health, advanced imaging can help your team to effectively investigate, diagnose, and plan treatment for the animals in your care.
Our state of the art mobile units bring this advanced diagnostic technology directly to your site, allowing the scans to be undertaken safely, efficiently, and in familiar surroundings. Minimising stress for your animals and ensuring a calm, controlled environment for your team.
Our flexible and cost-effective approach means that we can tailor each scanning day to the species, the case, and your environment. From pre-planning to on-site support, our specialist radiographers will maintain a smooth, effective workflow.
Our mobile CT and MRI services are suitable for a wide range of exotic and zoological species, including but not limited to:
If you have an exotic animal that could benefit from advanced imaging, we would be delighted to discuss how we can help. Simply email: enquiries@burgessdiagnostics.com
We are grateful for the kind feedback shared with us following our visits. These insights help us continually refine and enhance our service for exotic species of all shapes and sizes.
