CT Scans

Our 16-slice CT (Computerized Tomography) scanner is the first animal-dedicated scanner in Central Oregon. This invaluable, non-invasive technology allows us to see what’s going on inside your pet’s body. A CT captures a series of x-ray images to produce 3D pictures of bones, vital organs, and even blood vessels.

Some of the benefits of CT scanning:
• Surgical planning for oncologic surgery to help improve margins
• Surgical planning for complex fractures
• Identification of internal organ damage after severe trauma
• Identification and localization of disc herniations
• Neurosurgical planning
• Early identification of hereditary conditions such as elbow dysplasia
• Improving cancer diagnosis and treatment
• Guiding treatment plans for a variety of conditions including ear infections
