Diagnostic Imaging

When your dog or cat has a health problem, our veterinarians at Donostia Veterinary Hospital use a variety of techniques to get to the source of the issue. Changes in body temperature, weight, appetite and energy level can signal a problem that requires further investigation. Sensitive areas of the body or the animal’s reluctance to put weight on their limbs may signal an issue that is not visible on the surface. In these cases, a veterinarian may advise one or more of a variety of tests that can provide information about what’s going on inside your pet’s body. In some cases, you may not even suspect your pet has a problem, but a test will reveal a health issue in the early stages so that it can be treated before it becomes a more critical health problem.

CT: Computed Tomography, known as CT is a technique of Advanced Diagnostic Imaging. We are one of the pioneers and veterans in the use of this technique with more than seven years working with the most advanced technology. Our current equipment, a General Electric Revolution ACT, 16-slice, allows studies with high scanning speed, reducing study time and promoting maximum image quality and patient safety. Moreover, combined with the use of a contrast injector, it allows further adjustment of exposure times and improves vascular studies in giant breeds.
