CT is a computerised continuous x-ray imaging procedure that generates cross-sectional images or ‘slices’ of the body. Powerful computers use complex software to digitally ‘stack’ these images together to form a 3D image of the patient that we can accurately recognise and interpret. Unlike plain x-ray, a CT scan can differentiate between different types of soft tissue and thus can be used in the investigation of a wide array of conditions. With the administration of an intravenous contrast agent a ‘Contrast CT’ can detect subtle regions of pathology for example in the assessment of metastatic cancers.

CT scanning is most often used for examining:

  • Nose
  • Bone
  • Lungs
  • Contents of the abdomen

CT has revolutionised the way the veterinary profession looks at problems within complicated joints such as the elbow, for example.
