Veterinary CT scanner Market – Industry Trends, Growth, Analysis, Opportunities and Overview – Trends, Industry Size, Growth and Forecast to 2026
A veterinary CT scanner is used to obtain high-resolution three-dimensional anatomical diagnostic images of animals. It allows for expedient and dynamic care of animals. Veterinary CT scanners are more convenient and beneficial in comparison to conventional imaging devices such as ultrasound systems and x- rays as they provide comprehensive data for better diagnosis and treatment while reducing the need for investigative surgeries. A standard veterinary clinic that treats small animals has 1 to 4 slice CT scanners, whereas a well-established veterinary clinic would have a 16 slice veterinary CT scanners to assist trauma cases with increased diagnosis accuracy.
