CT Scans for Pets: FAQ Guide
Learn how CT scans provide clear, 3D images to diagnose issues in pets, from nasal tumors to orthopedic conditions. Discover the benefits of high slice count scanners, what to expect during a CT appointment, and how this advanced imaging improves your pet’s care.
FAQ: Why does SVI use drop-off windows instead of exact appointment times?
Imaging appointments run differently than traditional vet visits. By grouping patients into morning and afternoon blocks, the team creates space to manage complex cases, adjust for urgent needs, and deliver safe, well-coordinated care for every pet.
FAQ: Can I stay with my pet during their imaging appointment?
Strong magnets and radiation mean pet parents can’t be present during MRI or CT scans. This blog explains why it’s safest for everyone, how the veterinary team carefully monitors your pet, and what the drop-off and pick-up process looks like.
