At Oasis Small Animal and Exotics Veterinary Hospital, we bring specialty-level imaging directly to you. Our in-house CT scanner, digital X-rays, and ultrasound equipment provide faster answers and better care for your pet, without the referral wait times or costs associated with emergency and specialty hospitals.
In-House CT Scanning
Our state-of-the-art CT scanner is a vital component of our comprehensive diagnostic services, enabling us to provide precise and detailed imaging for the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions. Unlike traditional X-rays, which provide a flat image, CT scans produce three-dimensional images, enabling us to visualize internal structures with exceptional clarity.
Advanced Features
High-Resolution Imaging: Our CT scanner produces high-resolution images smaller than the width of a human hair, enabling us to detect even the most minor abnormalities.
Speed and Efficiency: The scanner operates quickly, minimizing the time your pet spends under anesthesia and reducing stress.
Enhanced Safety: The system is designed to deliver the lowest possible radiation dose while maintaining image quality, ensuring your pet’s safety.
Benefits of CT Scanning
Accurate Diagnosis: CT scans provide unparalleled detail, allowing for precise diagnosis of various conditions, including tumors, fractures, and internal injuries.
Comprehensive Imaging: With the ability to view multiple angles and cross-sections, CT scans offer a comprehensive view of the affected area, aiding in precise treatment planning.
Minimally Invasive: This non-invasive procedure reduces the need for exploratory surgeries, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for your pet.
Common Applications of CT Scanning
Detecting Tumors & Masses: Identifying growths in the brain, chest, abdomen, and other areas.
Assessing Internal Injuries: Evaluating trauma-related injuries that might not be visible on an X-ray.
Nasal & Sinus Disease: Diagnosing chronic infections, polyps, and tumors.
Orthopedic & Spinal Conditions: Helping assess fractures, joint disorders, and herniated discs.
Lung & Chest Evaluations: Detecting lung and heart disease, pneumonia, or cancer metastases.
Ear & Dental Imaging: Providing clear images of the middle ear, jaw, and teeth for advanced dental cases.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities
Beyond CT scanning, our complete imaging suite includes:
Digital X-Rays: Instant, clear images for routine diagnostics. Perfect for initial evaluations of bones, lungs, and foreign objects.
Ultrasound: Real-time visualization of soft tissues and organs. Ideal for heart conditions, pregnancy monitoring, and abdominal assessments.
Our technology-forward approach enables us to often diagnose conditions during your regular appointment. No waiting for referrals. No trips to multiple facilities. Just comprehensive care under one roof.
