CT Information
CT Imaging for Precision Diagnosis
Our 16-Slice General Electric CT scanner offers pet owners and referring veterinarians a powerful diagnostic tool that enhances the accuracy and speed of diagnosis for a wide range of conditions. This advanced imaging technology is not only exceedingly valuable for assessing complex cases such as suspected neoplasia, orthopaedic evaluations, and intricate neurological assessments, but also for common presentations such as suspected foreign body ingestion.
USVC’s CT imaging capabilities provide exceptional detail and clarity, allowing for the visualisation of structures that are difficult or impossible to assess with traditional radiography or ultrasound. Combined with rapid and detailed interpretation from VetCT’s board-certified Diagnostic Imaging specialists, our GE CT scanner is an essential resource for delivering comprehensive, high-quality care.
