Referral CT Scan Service Now Available
Yes – we can perform pet CT Scans!
The Fidex CT Scanner utilises the latest Technology and is programmed with algorithms that are specific for Veterinary Practice. This differentiates our CT imaging service from other CT Services which use machines programmed to analyse the Human anatomy.
The main imaging modalities used in Veterinary Practice these days is X-Rays, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, Fluoroscopy and Thermal Imaging.
The benefit of “In house” CT Scan Facilities is that in cases where CT scan is preferable to either X-Rays or Ultrasound, we can bypass these and go directly to CT without having to refer our patients elsewhere.
Common Uses of CT Technology in Veterinary Practice
- Diagnosing the type of Arthritic and degenerative changes occuring in the spinal column.
- Diagnosing Inveterbral Disc Diseases IVD with the assistance of Myelograms.
- Head CT Scans – for diagnosing space occcupying lesions in the brain
- Chest imaging – CT scans provide far more detailed images than X-Rays
- 3D reconstruction of fractures for orthopaedic repair
- Dental imaging – CT scans provide 3D images of the teeth and jaw.
- Developmental bone diseases – e.g. FCP in elbow dysplasia in Dogs. (This is often poorly diagnosed from X-Rays alone.)
- Bone cancers e.g. Osteosarcoma
