Sage Veterinary Imaging

What Sage Veterinary Imaging does

Sage Veterinary Imaging is a privately held outpatient veterinary diagnostic imaging company operating three locations across Texas (Round Rock and Spring) and Utah (Sandy). Founded approximately a decade ago, the company is the only outpatient veterinary imaging center in Central Texas, positioned between general veterinary clinics that lack advanced imaging capability and full-service specialty hospitals that bundle imaging with broader treatment. Sage Veterinary Imaging is led by Co-Founder, CEO, and Chief Radiologist Jaime Sage.

The company's core service portfolio centers on research-grade diagnostic imaging equipment — a Philips 3T MRI scanner, a 128-slice CT scanner, and a Samsung ultrasound system with AI-enhanced visualization — complemented by echocardiography, neurological imaging, image-guided biopsies, and same-day digital cytology with 2-hour turnaround. Interpretation is performed by ACVR board-certified radiologists, a credential the company treats as a primary differentiator. Adjacent offerings include Sage Teleradiology (remote specialist interpretation) and Sage Vet Academy (continuing education for veterinary professionals).

Sage Veterinary Imaging operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining veterinarian referrals with direct-to-consumer appointment booking. Services are priced on a fee-for-service basis with transparent upfront pricing; payment is collected at the time of service via credit/debit card or CareCredit financing. The company also partners with Trupanion for direct insurance billing during visits. No external funding, ownership structure, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available sources.

Direct peers

• VetCT: Veterinary teleradiology and specialist consultation service providing remote image interpretation by board-certified radiologists. Directly comparable to SVI's Sage Teleradiology arm and represents the same specialist-radiology service model in a different geography.
• SAGE Veterinary Centers: Multi-site specialty and emergency veterinary hospital group with significant in-house imaging capability. Directly comparable to SVI as a specialty veterinary imaging provider serving the same referring-vet and pet-owner customer base, though broader in specialty scope (oncology, surgery, internal medicine).
• Bush Veterinary Neurology Service (BVNS): Specialty veterinary neurology practice with in-house MRI for neurological and spinal diagnosis. Directly comparable to SVI's neurology/neurosurgery imaging focus and draws from the same neurology-referral segment targeted by SVI's 3T MRI service.
• PetRays: Veterinary teleradiology provider supplying board-certified radiologist interpretation to general practices and specialty hospitals. Closely comparable to Sage Teleradiology as a specialist interpretation service that competes for the same referral-vet image-interpretation demand.

Broad incumbents

• MedVet: Multi-specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network with diagnostic imaging capabilities across many U.S. locations. Overlaps with SVI in advanced imaging but competes primarily as a broader specialty hospital rather than an imaging-only center.
• IDEXX Laboratories: Leading veterinary diagnostics company offering imaging, reference lab, and in-clinic diagnostics. Though concentrated in lab diagnostics, IDEXX's imaging and practice-management integrations place it as a broad incumbent touching the same veterinary diagnostic workflow.
• Antech Diagnostics: Veterinary diagnostics laboratory and imaging services provider (part of Mars Petcare). Comparable as a large-scale veterinary diagnostic services incumbent serving the same referring-vet customer base, though broader in scope than SVI's imaging focus.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Large general and specialty veterinary hospital network (part of Mars Petcare) offering in-house imaging at many locations. Overlaps with SVI's imaging services within a much broader primary and specialty care footprint.
• BluePearl Specialty + Emergency Pet Hospital: Large national network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals, many with in-house MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Competes with SVI for advanced imaging referrals as part of a broader multi-specialty offering rather than a dedicated imaging focus.

Regional players

• Pieper Veterinary: Multi-location specialty and emergency veterinary group in the Northeast U.S. with diagnostic imaging services. Comparable to SVI as a specialty veterinary provider with imaging capabilities serving a referring-vet network, but operates in a different geography.
