CT Scans

CT (Computed Tomography) scanning is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in modern veterinary medicine. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we’re proud to offer in-house CT imaging to deliver rapid, detailed insights into a wide range of health issues — allowing us to diagnose accurately and plan treatment with precision. 

Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans provide 3D, cross-sectional images of your pet’s internal structures, making it possible to detect problems that would otherwise be missed. 

What Can a CT Scan Detect? 

CT imaging is used widely in veterinary medicine to diagnose and plan treatment for a variety of conditions. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, common uses include: 

  • Chronic infections, nasal tumours, polyps, and foreign bodies 

  • Complex fractures, pelvic injuries, elbow dysplasia, and spinal problems 

  • Especially when X-rays are inconclusive 

  • Lung disease, chest tumours, grass seed foreign bodies and vascular anomalies like PRAA  

  • Liver, spleen, or kidney tumours, and portosystemic shunts 

  • Disc extrusions, fractures, and congenital malformations 

  • Custom models for advanced orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures. We were Canberra’s first veterinarian hospital to design and manufacture 3d printed guides and implants inhouse. Dr Eamon Ryan has over 5 years’ experience in this field.
