Vetel Diagnostics Expands Into 3D Imaging Through Strategic Partnership with Imaginalis Imaging

The veterinary diagnostic imaging leader adds Imaginalis Vimago™ HDVI CT systems to its product line, bringing high-definition 3D imaging to practices that couldn’t consider it before.

Vetel Diagnostics, a trusted leader in veterinary digital radiography and diagnostic imaging, today announced a new distribution partnership with Imaginalis, makers of the Vimago™ family of High Definition Volumetric Imaging (HDVI) CT systems. This partnership marks Vetel’s strategic expansion into 3D cross-sectional imaging as a deeply considered step forward for veterinary patient care.

A Patient-First Decision, Years in the Making

For decades, radiographs have served as the foundation of veterinary diagnostics, and they remain a vital, indispensable tool. But in some cases, radiographs can only reveal to veterinarians the tip of the iceberg. When a finding is present, the full magnitude of the problem may be far greater than what a 2D image reveals. It is in those moments that the ability to see the full picture becomes critical.

Vetel has watched the trajectory of veterinary imaging evolve for years. The demand for 3D cross-sectional imaging in general and specialty practice is undeniable. The main challenges to adoption for many practices have often been access: traditional CT systems require significant capital investment, specialized electrical infrastructure, and dedicated space that most practices simply don’t have. Vetel is entering this space now that a solution exists that removes those barriers without compromising one of our core values: exceptional image quality.

“We are not adding CT to our product line because it’s the next trend. We’re adding it because we genuinely believe it represents the future of better patient outcomes. Now we’ve found a system that makes 3D imaging accessible to more practices, not just the ones with the largest budgets.”

— James K. Waldsmith, DVM. President of Vetel Diagnostics.

Why Imaginalis: The Gold Standard in Veterinary CT

Vetel evaluated the 3D imaging market extensively before selecting a partner. After much research and vetting, Imaginalis Imaging CT solutions stood apart from traditional CT for two fundamental reasons.

Superior Image Quality Through High Definition Volumetric Imaging (HDVI) Technology. Traditional multi-slice CT systems generate data with inherent gaps that must be filled through interpolation. This means that portions of each image are mathematically estimated rather than directly measured. Imaginalis’ HDVI technology is fully volumetric: every data point is captured, with no interpolation and no information gaps. The result is exceptional diagnostic clarity in both hard and soft tissue, with spatial resolution up to 100 microns, which is widely recognized as the gold standard for orthopedic and dental applications. As a multi-modality imaging solution, veterinary practices can offer premium High Definition Volumetric Imaging (HDVI) Computed Tomography, Digital Radiography, and Fluoroscopy to their communities, all from a single device.

Designed for Accessibility. The Vimago™ family was engineered for the realities of private practice. Compact enough to pass through a standard door, low in electrical consumption, and significantly more affordable than traditional CT installations, the Vimago™ GT30 and GT30 Pico bring 3D imaging within reach of practices that have long wanted it but couldn’t justify the infrastructure. Whether a general practice serving all companion animal sizes or an exotic specialty clinic, there is a Vimago™ configuration purpose-built for that environment.

Expanding Our Commitment to Exceptional Imaging Equipment

This partnership does not represent a departure from Vetel’s core identity. Digital radiography remains the workhorse of veterinary imaging, and Vetel remains fully committed to delivering the most advanced DR solutions on the market. Adding CT is an extension of the same philosophy that has guided Vetel since its founding: equip veterinarians with imaging tools that are proven, accurate, and reliable, so that every patient receives the diagnosis they deserve.

For veterinarians interested in 3D imaging but held back by cost, voltage requirements, or space constraints, this is a growth opportunity unlike any that have come before. Vetel and Imaginalis are ready to help practices take that next step.
