CT Scans
CT (Computed Tomography) scanning is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in modern veterinary medicine. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we’re proud to offer in-house CT imaging to deliver rapid, detailed insights into a wide range of health issues — allowing us to diagnose accurately and plan treatment with precision.
Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans provide 3D, cross-sectional images of your pet’s internal structures, making it possible to detect problems that would otherwise be missed.
We offer both emergency and planned caesarean surgeries, backed by a skilled surgical team, full anaesthetic monitoring, and neonatal support.
What Can a CT Scan Detect?
CT imaging is used widely in veterinary medicine to diagnose and plan treatment for a variety of conditions. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, common uses include:
Ear, nose and throat issues
Chronic infections, nasal tumours, polyps, and foreign bodies
Orthopaedic conditions
Complex fractures, pelvic injuries, elbow dysplasia, and spinal problems
Forelimb lameness
Especially when X-rays are inconclusive
Thoracic conditions
Lung disease, chest tumours, grass seed foreign bodies and vascular anomalies like PRAA
Abdominal pathology
Liver, spleen, or kidney tumours, and portosystemic shunts
Spinal and neurological concerns
Disc extrusions, fractures, and congenital malformations
3D surgical planning
Custom models for advanced orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures. We were Canberra’s first veterinarian hospital to design and manufacture 3D printed guides and implants inhouse. Dr Eamon Ryan has over 5 years’ experience in this field.
