What is CT and how is it used in Veterinary medicine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computed Tomography<\/a>, more commonly known as CT, has been used in the veterinary industry since the 1980s, and has significantly altered the diagnostic imaging landscape and the range of treatments available for patients.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all technology, CT systems and software has significantly improved, resulting in better image quality and improved speed of image acquisition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CT produces cross-sectional images of the body, allowing structures to be viewed without the overlap seen on standard X-rays. This provides much greater anatomical detail.<\/s> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is routinely utilised in the evaluation of a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, particularly within orthopaedics, trauma, soft tissue imaging, oncology, and neurology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
