Computed Tomography
Computed Tomography (CT), commonly referred to as a CAT scan, is a cross-sectional imaging modality that uses x-rays to produce a cross-sectional, or ‘slice’ image of the inside of the body. The process can show bones, as well as surrounding soft tissues such as muscle and blood vessels with excellent clarity. CT imaging produces a high volume of data which can be manipulated electronically to allow reformatting in multiple planes.
Current multidetector CT (MDCT) technology allows rapid imaging and generates a volume of attenuation data which enables multiplanar and 3D reconstructions. MDCT also facilitates highly detailed CT angiography using iodinated contrast media.
The Burgess CT systems can quickly scan large areas of the patient, in one continuous operation, and deliver large numbers of images to help in the diagnosis of many conditions in small animals. These can include neoplasm, infectious disease, trauma, and musculoskeletal disorders.
