A New Era of Veterinary CT: How CBCT Is Advancing Veterinary Diagnostics
For many veterinarians, cone beam CT (CBCT) still brings to mind the technology of a decade ago, systems used primarily for dental and maxillofacial imaging, with a more limited role in broader veterinary diagnostics. But veterinary CT technology has evolved significantly. Today’s CBCT systems offer capabilities that challenge many of those old assumptions and are […]
Why OBOK Veterinary Dental Clinic Chose DeteCT Vet: A Real-World Perspective on Advanced Veterinary Dental Imaging
In veterinary dentistry, successful outcomes depend on one critical factor: accurate diagnosis. While traditional radiographs remain an essential part of dental care, many oral conditions require a deeper level of visualization to fully understand the extent of disease and develop the most effective treatment plan. For specialty practices focused on advanced dental procedures, access to […]
Is 3D Imaging Worth It for Veterinary Practices?
Veterinary medicine is changing faster than ever. Rising caseloads, increasing client expectations, and growing competition from specialty referral centers are pushing practices to rethink what they can offer in-house. For many clinics and specialty hospitals, one question is coming up more often: Is investing in 3D imaging worth it? The answer depends on your practice’s […]
How Multimodality Imaging Enables True 3D Veterinary Diagnostics
Veterinary imaging is no longer viewed simply as a way to confirm findings, it has become a central tool for clinical decision-making, treatment planning, and case communication. As caseloads grow more complex and expectations for diagnostic accuracy increase, veterinarians are rethinking what imaging systems should deliver: not just images, but meaningful spatial insight. This shift […]
CT or CBCT? Choose the Best Imaging for Your Vet Practice
Key Takeaways:
Cost Differences: CBCT offers up to 70% lower ongoing maintenance and replacement costs compared to traditional Fan-Beam CT scanners.
Clinical Applications: Conventional CT excels in complex soft-tissue imaging, while CBCT is ideal for veterinary dentistry, orthopedics, and multi-modality (X-ray + Fluoroscopy + 3D) workflows.
Facility Impact: CBCT requires less room footprint and significantly lower radiation shielding investment.
Why Not to Use Human CT Scanners for Veterinary Imaging
Many veterinary practices turn to the refurbished X-ray market as an affordable option for acquiring their imaging equipment. This has resulted in the increasing use of human CT scanners in veterinary practices for conducting exams on animals. The adoption of human CT scan protocols in veterinary care poses significant risks that can compromise animal health […]
