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.
