In August, Rampure and her husband, Dr. Jay Rampure, had to take their sick dog, Rex, across the border for an ultrasound. No animal hospitals in Windsor had the necessary tools available to diagnose him.

That’s what Rita Rampure said Friday after donating an ultrasound machine to the Windsor Essex County Humane Society.

In January of 2014, Rampure and her husband, a radiologist, started CMR Healthcare, a medical imaging business now with eight clinics across Windsor and LaSalle. In order to comply with government regulations, they recently purchased new ultrasound equipment and retired several older machines.

“We hope that other dogs and other animals will benefit,” said Rampure. “We know how important this is for people, and they should be able to get medical imaging done for their pets, as well.”

By the time the golden retriever/poodle mix had an ultrasound in Detroit, a previously undetected tumour on the dog’s spleen had ruptured, and it was too late to treat him. Rex died soon after.

Rampure said the eight-year-old ultrasound machines still work well, so she and her husband decided to donate one to the humane society in memory of 11-year-old Rex’s passing.

“Our veterinary staff are very excited,” said Melanie Coulter, executive director of the local humane society. “We’ve wanted one for a while, but the cost was always too high.”

CMR Healthcare purchased its new ultrasound machines for around $70,000 each. Used, the equipment wouldn’t be nearly as pricey, but is still out of the humane society’s budget.

“We have a lot of animals coming in with unknown history, and this will allow us to gather more information to determine what will go wrong with an animal’s health.”

Until now, an X-ray machine provided the humane society with important but limited diagnoses of animal ailments. Instead of X-ray radiation, ultrasound scans use high-frequency sound waves to capture live images of a body’s insides. With the ultrasound machine, humane society veterinarians will be able to view problems with muscles, tendons, and internal organs, as well as lumps and bumps on soft tissue, and animal fetuses in the womb.
