Veteran Animal Health Thought Leader Joins
Team
ROUND ROCK,
Texas, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sage
Veterinary Imaging (SVI) has welcomed Peter
Selover to its team as president and chief operating
officer. Selover had previously served as chief executive officer
of Exubrion Therapeutics.
Selover will assume responsibility for SVI
operations including management, human resources, finance and
veterinary outreach. SVI founder, Dr. Jaime
Sage, will maintain her role in providing the highest
quality veterinary imaging to referring veterinarians and their
clients.
"We are all very excited to welcome Pete to the
team," Dr. Sage said. "By assuming the business management of the
imaging centers, I'm able to focus exclusively on maintaining the
highest standards of care in providing human-quality imaging to our
patients, and training the next generation of veterinary
radiologists." In addition to the three Sage Veterinary Imaging
centers in Texas and Utah, SVI is one of only 25 residency programs
accredited by the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR)
as a teaching hospital.
Selover has a proven track record of growing
businesses. Most recently he was CEO of Exubrion Therapeutics.
He also had leadership roles at Nutrivert, where he was
founder and CFO, and Merial (now Boehringer Ingelheim) as head of

Darla Moore School of Business.
"My passion is to build successful businesses and
work with talented, motivated people in achieving success," he
said. "Dr. Sage and her team are meeting the growing need for
higher quality veterinary imaging. My addition to the team will
enable her to be laser-focused on excellent patient care. She has a
vision for the practice to always push to a higher level of
veterinary radiology. I'm excited to be part of the team."
About Sage Veterinary
Imaging
Diagnostic services at the three SVI centers
include:
- 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI uses a powerful
magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed
pictures of organs, soft tissues, and other internal body
structures. MRI has been used for more than 30 years in veterinary
medicine to diagnose or assess brain tumors, slipped discs, spinal
cancer, inner ear infections, liver shunts, ACL tears, lameness,
and various joint injuries. The 3T MRI offers twice the accuracy in
half the time.
- 128-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner; A CT
scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination
of X-rays and computer technology to produce images
of the inside of the body including bones, muscles, fat, organs and
blood vessels. The 128-slice CT scanner offers more detectors than
a 16 or 64 slice CT, larger volume coverage and shorter scan
times.
- High-resolution console ultrasound. Ultrasound enables
the veterinary team to visualize disease processes more clearly and
perform biopsies more accurately. Ultrasound is commonly used to
diagnose conditions such as liver disease, kidney
disease, pancreatitis, intestinal foreign-body obstruction,
and abdominal cancer.
- Echocardiography with full workups. An
electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) records the electrical signals in the
heart and can quickly detect heart problems and monitor the heart's
health.
- Image-guided biopsies. An image-guided biopsy
allows the veterinarian to biopsy suspicious areas that can't
readily be seen or felt through the skin. Using an imaging
technique such as ultrasound, the veterinarian can guide the biopsy
needle into the best position to obtain a sample of suspicious
cells.
- Nuclear medicine. Veterinary nuclear medicine
uses very small, tracer amounts of radioactive molecules to
diagnose diseases involving bone, soft tissues and vessels. This
can be effective when diagnosing bone lesions, soft tissue tumors
and sites of infection. Additionally, SVI offers
specialized radio-therapies for treatment of feline hypertension
and canine osteoarthritis.
SVI currently has two imaging centers in
Texas – Round Rock (serving the Austin area) and Spring, near Houston; the third location is in Sandy, Utah, serving the Salt Lake City area.
