What South Sound Veterinary Imaging does

South Sound Veterinary Imaging (SSVI) is a privately held veterinary diagnostic imaging practice headquartered in University Place, Washington, providing specialty-level imaging and consulting services to veterinary clinics and pet owners. The company operates through three service delivery channels: an outpatient imaging center offering direct-to-consumer ultrasound and cardiology services, mobile radiology and cardiology teams that visit partner clinics in the greater Tacoma, Olympia, Puyallup, and Kitsap Peninsula regions, and a telespecialty platform (via CorridorVet PACS) providing remote interpretation of X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, echocardiograms, and ECGs alongside internal medicine consultations to clinics internationally. SSVI is led by Owner and Lead Radiologist Dr. Krystina Stadler, DVM, DACVR, who sub-specializes in MRI and CT and has published peer-reviewed work.

The service portfolio is built around a multi-specialist team that includes multiple DACVR board-certified radiologists, DACVIM cardiologists (Dr. Katie Nadolny, Dr. Renee Girens, Dr. Nicole LeBlanc), and a DACVIM internist (Dr. Kelly McCord). Core offerings include outpatient ultrasound (abdominal, musculoskeletal, focal, regional) priced at $547-$750, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirate and centesis ($452-$488), outpatient cardiology packages ($775-$880), mobile radiology (abdominal, thoracic, musculoskeletal, cervical ultrasound), mobile cardiology, teleradiology, telecardiology, and tele-internal medicine with a 48-hour-or-less turnaround. Supplementary revenue lines include continuing education (Radiology Rounds, CT/MRI rounds) and a paid 12-month Diagnostic Imaging Specialty Internship paying $56,500 annually.

The business model is fee-for-service across both channels: unit pricing for outpatient imaging and cardiology, and professional-services pricing for mobile and telespecialty engagements. Customer segments are pet owners (direct-to-consumer at the outpatient center) and veterinary clinics (mobile and telespecialty). The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding. CareCredit is accepted as a payment option. Competitive positioning depends on specialist density, multi-channel coverage, and clinician-driven community engagement through CE programs and case rounds.
