Computed Tomography
Westside owns and operates a brand new Canon Aquilion 80 CT scanner is an 80 slice scanner that offers the fastest scan time and highest quality images in a veterinary clinic within Singapore. Thinner slices allow better resolution for even the smallest patients and faster scan times means shorter, safer GA/sedation for our patients.
Uses and benefits of CT as an imaging modality
-Identification of tumor spread within organs, with high sensitivity for small pulmonary nodules/metastases.
-Evaluation of joint surfaces affected by arthritis, infection, trauma or tumor invasion. CT is particularly helpful in the diagnosis of elbow dysplasia.
-Diagnosis of spinal/spinal cord lesions.
-The best way to evaluate the sinuses, nasal and oral cavities for the detection of masses, old or recent fractures or foreign bodies imbedded in these cavities.
-General imaging of the head for the detection of any skull fracture caused by head trauma, masses occurring behind or surrounding the eyes, and abnormalities involving the middle ear and its surroundings
