What Is a CT Scan for Pets?
A CT (computed tomography) scan is a non-invasive imaging technique that produces cross-sectional images of a pet’s body. This diagnostic tool is useful for detecting abnormalities that may not be visible on standard X-rays. It provides clear, high-resolution images of soft tissues, bones, and internal organs, allowing veterinarians to make more informed medical decisions.
CT scans are commonly used to diagnose:
- Tumors and masses
- Nasal and sinus conditions
- Neurological disorders
- Orthopedic issues
- Lung diseases
- Abdominal abnormalities
