Computed tomography (C.T.)

Computed Tomography (C.T) is available locally, whereas in the past, animals have had to be referred to specialist centres further afield to benefit from this service.

Computed tomography (C.T.) uses x-rays to produce a 3D image. This allows the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of a wide range of conditions that can be hard to diagnose on regular x-rays or ultrasounds. A scan takes about 45 minutes during which 150-200 images are produced per animal! These images are then interpreted by an RCVS recognised specialist in diagnostic imaging.
