Supported by the latest computertomography technology (3D color CT diagnostic),
we are able to diagnose diseases, from the brain to the limbs in a gentle way,
to ensure the optimum treatment for your pet.

The pet will be anesthetized for a few minutes,
so that it lies still and relaxed for the duration of the examination.

THE TECHNIQUE

With the CT-HiSpeed Dual of General Electric, three-dimensional colored diagrams of the diseased area will be produced. The three-dimensional diagram enhances the diagnosis for a proper treatment. Times of rotation and scanning are greatly shortened and the level of radiation was considerably lowered in comparison to traditional devices.

CT-CONTROLLED
TREATMENT OF SPINAL DISEASES

Thanks to the computertomogram of the respective spine segments, an injection to treat the prolapsed disk is possible. The injection needle can be pushed precise on the millimetre to the prolapsed disk and a control-CT-picture makes sure that the correct position has been reached, then the medication can be installated on the prolapsed disk.

THE PROCEDURE

For the examination, the patients will be anesthetized for a few minutes. Therefore, a venous puncture will be made and the patient will be intubated. The examination only needs a few minutes. Organs with lumen, i.e. intestine or bronchus can be visualized, comparably with a flight through the organs.
