FAQs
What is CT imaging and how is it different from regular X-rays?
CT (Computed Tomography) imaging creates detailed cross-sectional pictures of your pet’s internal structures, unlike regular X-rays which provide flat images. This allows for a more precise diagnosis of complex conditions.
Is CT imaging safe for my pet?
Yes, CT scans use controlled doses of radiation and are considered safe. Our team takes every precaution to minimize exposure and ensure your pet’s comfort during the scan.
Does my pet need to be sedated for a CT scan?
Usually, light sedation is applied to keep your pet still and relaxed during the procedure. This helps us get clear images and ensures your pet remains calm and safe.
How long does a CT scan take?
The scan itself typically takes only a few minutes. Including preparation and recovery from sedation, you can expect the entire visit to be around an hour.
When will I get the results from the CT scan?
Our veterinarians review the images immediately after the scan and will discuss the findings with you as soon as possible, helping you understand your pet’s condition and treatment options.
