CT Scan in Birds

CT (Computed Tomography) in birds is a diagnostic imaging tool used to visualise the internal structures of the little avian body in detail. It is available at Bird Vet Melbourne in Burwood. The Bird-veterinary CT scan works by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles and then using a computer to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of the bird-body.

Avian Ct-Scans are done at the Bird Vet Hospital. Avian-CT Scans can be very useful in diagnosing disease in birds. Due to the small size of most birds seen at the Avian Veterinary Clinic- specialised equipment and expertise are required to perform Bird CT scans safely and interpret them.
