CT Scans

At Central Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced CT imaging to provide precise diagnostics for pets. Our state-of-the-art Computed Tomography (CT) scanner allows our veterinarians to detect and diagnose complex conditions with unparalleled accuracy.

Why Choose a CT Scan for Your Pet?

CT scans provide high-resolution, 3D imaging, making them invaluable for identifying conditions that standard X-rays cannot fully capture. This advanced technology is particularly effective for:

Neurological Disorders – Detecting brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).

Orthopedic Conditions – Evaluating fractures, joint abnormalities, and bone tumors.

Cancer Detection – Locating tumors and assessing their spread.

Respiratory & Cardiovascular Issues – Diagnosing conditions affecting the lungs, heart, and nasal passages.

Dental & Skull Imaging – Detecting hidden dental diseases, jaw fractures, and sinus problems.

Abdominal & Soft Tissue Evaluation – Providing detailed images of the liver, kidneys, intestines, and other organs.

What to Expect During a CT Scan

For accurate imaging, pets must remain completely still. In most cases, sedation or general anesthesia is required. The procedure is quick and non-invasive, typically completed in just a few minutes. Our veterinary team ensures the highest level of safety and comfort for your pet throughout the process.

Expert Interpretation & Treatment Planning

Once the CT scan is complete, our Veterinarians will consult with a board certified radiologist who will carefully analyze the images to develop a personalized treatment plan. Whether confirming a diagnosis or guiding a surgical procedure, CT imaging allows us to provide the highest level of veterinary care.
