Computed Tomography (CT)

At Iowa Veterinary Specialties, we utilize advanced computed tomography (CT) imaging to provide detailed, cross-sectional views of your pet’s internal structures. CT scans offer a non-invasive and highly precise diagnostic tool that allows our veterinarians to evaluate complex conditions involving the head, spine, chest, abdomen, and limbs with exceptional clarity.

CT is especially valuable in cases where traditional X-rays or ultrasound may not provide enough detail. It helps in diagnosing tumors, internal injuries, orthopedic abnormalities, nasal disease, neurological disorders, and more. This technology is also frequently used in planning surgical or radiation therapy procedures, ensuring a more targeted and effective approach to treatment.

Our veterinary team is trained in the safe and efficient use of CT imaging for a wide range of species, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. With rapid image acquisition and detailed results, CT allows us to diagnose problems quickly and accurately—often leading to earlier intervention and improved outcomes.

If your pet requires advanced imaging, our 24-hour hospital is equipped and ready to provide the highest standard of care using cutting-edge diagnostic tools like CT.
