About Patriot Paws Imaging

Patriot Paws Imaging was founded to bring high-quality mobile diagnostic ultrasound services to the Houston veterinary community.

  • Leanne Letourneau, BSc, RDMS, CRGS

    CO-FOUNDER

    Leanne is a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS) with over 15 years of experience in the animal care industry. Her rare ability to combine extensive hands-on work with animals and advanced expertise in diagnostic ultrasound is a true asset to the veterinary community.

    After years of training under the mentorship of board-certified veterinary radiologists and cardiologists, Leanne founded Paw Prints Mobile Veterinary Ultrasound in Winnipeg. She has since worked closely with local veterinarians to deliver high-quality abdominal and cardiac imaging for a wide range of patients—including dogs, cats, and an impressive variety of exotic species such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hedgehogs, snakes, and lizards.

    Now, Leanne has partnered with Katie and Jason to launch Patriot Paws Imaging in Houston. Together, their combined experience, passion, and dedication will bring exceptional mobile ultrasound services to veterinary practices across the greater Houston area.
