Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What types of cases are best suited for CT imaging?

CT is ideal for evaluating complex neurological, orthopedic, oncologic, and internal medicine cases. It’s especially useful when radiographs or ultrasound are inconclusive.

Do patients require sedation or anesthesia for a CT scan?

Yes. Most patients require light sedation or general anesthesia to remain still during the scan. Our team ensures all safety protocols are followed to minimize risk.

How quickly will I receive the results?

In most cases, CT images are reviewed the same day, and a detailed report is sent to the referring veterinarian within 24–48 hours.

Can I speak with a specialist before referring a case?

Absolutely. We encourage collaboration and are happy to discuss potential cases or answer any questions before referral.
