A CT scan (computed tomography) provides highly detailed, 3D images of your pet’s body. It is especially valuable for viewing complex areas like the skull, chest, or abdomen, and is often used when precise anatomical information is needed for treatment planning. CT imaging allows us to evaluate the size, location, and extent of tumors with far greater detail than standard X-rays or ultrasound.

CT scans are also useful for cancer staging, helping us determine whether the disease has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. This information is critical for deciding whether surgery, radiation, or medical therapy is the best next step. At Veterinary Cancer Health, we offer CT imaging onsite, allowing us to quickly and efficiently obtain the information needed to guide your pet’s care without delay or referral.
