Diagnostic MSK ultrasound of a canine patient
§ 02 Services · For referring veterinarians

Musculoskeletal ultrasound, for the referral veterinarian.

By referral only — like an MRI referral, not a primary workup. Send your imaging in for a remote read, or have Dr. Canapp perform the ultrasound in person at your clinic.

§ 01 Two ways to work together

Send the imaging in — or have Dr. Canapp scan in person.

Every engagement is by referral. The only difference is who holds the probe: you acquire the images at your clinic and send them for a remote read, or Dr. Canapp comes to you and performs the ultrasound herself.

§ 02 The clinical service list

Imaging, intervention, and the second-opinion read — one practitioner, one workflow.

№ 01

Diagnostic MSK Ultrasound

Real-time imaging of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joint capsules. The primary modality of the practice — performed in person at VOSM (MD) and Circle Oak (CA) by referral, or read remotely from images you acquire.

Imaging
№ 02

Ultrasound-Guided Injection

PRP, regenerative medicine, orthobiologics, and intra-articular injection placement guided by real-time ultrasound — precision into the lesion, not near it. Performed in person at referral sites.

Therapeutic
№ 03

Regenerative Medicine Planning

Case-by-case protocol for autologous regenerative therapies — selection criteria, dosing, follow-up imaging. Recommended in the read or in a follow-up consult.

Therapeutic
№ 04

Second-Opinion Imaging Reads

Submit your MSK ultrasound imaging through the portal for expert interpretation, with a written report and annotated key frames.

§ 03 The therapeutic edge

When the lesion is visible, the injection can be precise.

The diagnostic edge converts directly to a therapeutic one. Ultrasound guidance lets PRP, orthobiologic, and regenerative protocols land inside the lesion — not near it. The same modality that found the injury is the one that delivers the treatment.

§ 04 How a remote read works

The five-day arc from your upload to report.

You acquire the ultrasound at your own clinic and submit the study through the secure referral portal. Dr. Canapp reads it and sends a report back — the workflow is the same every time. Best suited to graduates of the MSK course, whose acquisition matches how the read is structured.

What you'll receive

  • Written diagnostic interpretation, by anatomical region
  • Annotated key frames with measurements
  • Differential diagnosis ranked by likelihood
  • Treatment recommendations & rehabilitation framework
  • Optional follow-up through the portal's case comment thread

§ 05 Outside referrals · Fee structure

Already performing your own MSK ultrasound, and want a second opinion?

You don't need to have trained with Dr. Canapp to send a case in. Outside referrals are welcome and reviewed individually. One caveat: because your acquisition technique may differ from the protocol she teaches, a submission isn't guaranteed to be readable or to yield a fully diagnostic report.

Per site read

One bilateral region.

$500
Unreadable images

Return fee, if the imaging can't be reviewed.

$100
What counts as a "site"

A site is one bilateral region. Pricing examples:

Both shoulders1 site · $500
Both shoulders + both carpi2 sites · $1,000
Both stifles + both tarsi + both shoulders3 sites · $1,500
Single unilateral region1 site · $500
The $100 return, in plain language

Assessed when imaging cannot be reviewed for technical reasons — non-standard acquisition angles, insufficient resolution, or artifact obscuring the structure of interest. It covers the time already spent attempting the read.

If you find yourself referring often

The course exists precisely to remove this uncertainty. Course graduates submit at the standard rate, with readability all but assured because the imaging was acquired the way the read is structured.

§ 06 In-person ultrasound at your clinic

Dr. Canapp performs the ultrasound — in your building.

For clinics that would rather not acquire and ship imaging themselves, Dr. Canapp travels on-site and performs the diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound on your patients in person — alongside your team.

How an on-site day works

  • Dr. Canapp scans your scheduled MSK cases in person, on your floor
  • Real-time interpretation with your team at the table
  • Ultrasound-guided injections performed the same visit, where indicated
  • Findings and recommendations documented for each patient
  • A standing day can be arranged for clinics with recurring caseload

Dr. Canapp works with host clinics as a 1099 independent contractor. If on-site coverage is something your practice is considering, reach out and we'll talk through what it would look like.

§ 07 Or — learn to do it yourself

Many referring vets eventuallybecome the reader.

The same diagnostic workup Dr. Canapp performs in clinic is taught — step by step — in the canine MSK ultrasound course. If you find yourself referring the same kinds of cases out, the course is built for you.
