The Veterinary Computed Axial Tomography (CT) scanning is one of the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques in animal medicine. Thanks to its high-resolution three-dimensional images, it allows the internal anatomy of dogs, cats and other pets to be studied in great detail, detecting problems that are not always visible on X-rays or ultrasound scans.
At Benivet BenissaWe have state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to carry out CT scans in the most efficient way. fast, accurate and safealways under the supervision of our veterinary team.

CT (Computed Axial Tomography) is an advanced imaging technique that generates 3D cross-sectional slices of the body. It makes it possible to study in great detail head, spine, joints, thorax, abdomen and internal massesIt is key in traumatology, neurology, oncology and surgical planning.
CT is indicated in situations such as:
Suspicion of complex fractures or fissures not visible on X-ray
Evaluation of herniated discs or neurological problems
Study of tumours and outreach (staycation)
Valuation of nasal cavitieschronic otitis or head masses
Search for deep foreign bodies
Planning of orthopaedic or soft tissue surgeries
Yes. Unlike X-rays, CT scans require the animal to remain in the room for a few minutes. totally immobile to obtain high quality images. It is therefore performed under controlled general anaesthesia, with continuous monitoring of vital signs and an adapted analgesia protocol.
Yes. In Benivet Benissa we use safe anaesthetic protocolsThe radiation dose is controlled and the procedure is short. The radiation dose is controlled and the procedure is short. Before the CAT scan we usually perform pre-anaesthetic analysis to increase security.
Image acquisition usually takes between 5 and 15 minutesThe entire process (anaesthetic induction, preparation and recovery) may take a little longer. Preliminary results are explained to the tutor within a short period of time and, if necessary, a expert's report.
The TAC offers:
High-resolution three-dimensional images
Increased precision in traumatology, neurology and oncology
Detection of lesions not visible on X-rays
Clear evaluation of complex cavities (chest, abdomen, head)
Better surgical planning
