In computer tomography (CT) X-rays rotate around the patient to make cross sections of the body. The technique is mainly used for examining the head (teeth/sinus), the neck and the limbs (joints, tendons and for complicated fractures).
The examination takes about 30 to 60 minutes. The scanning itself only takes a couple of seconds.
We usually scan the animal in an upright position under sedation when examining the head and the upper part of the neck. Other examinations are carried out under general anaesthesia. It is possible to examine limbs of horses in an upright position as well.
