What is an infectious disease scan for pets?

An infectious disease scan for pets is a specialized diagnostic tool that utilizes advanced imaging technology to detect the presence of infectious diseases in animals. It typically involves the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) to provide precise images of your pet's internal structures. This scan helps veterinarians identify infections, assess the extent of diseases, and formulate effective treatment plans, ensuring your pet receives the best care possible.

How does a Pet CT scan work?

A Pet CT scan combines two imaging techniques: PET and CT. During the procedure, a radioactive tracer is administered to your pet, which highlights areas of infection or abnormality in the body. The PET component captures functional images, showing how organs and tissues are working, while the CT part provides detailed anatomical images. Together, these images help veterinarians diagnose various health issues accurately.

Is an infectious disease scan safe for pets?

Yes, an infectious disease scan is considered safe for pets. The procedure is non-invasive and involves minimal radiation exposure. The radioactive tracer used is specifically designed for diagnostic purposes and is eliminated from your pet's body fairly quickly. However, it's always advisable to discuss any concerns with your veterinarian prior to the procedure.

How long does a Pet CT scan take?

The entire process of a Pet CT scan can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the specific requirements and the area being scanned. The actual scan usually lasts about 30 minutes, but your pet may need some time to settle and prepare for the scan.

What should I do to prepare my pet for the scan?

Preparation for a Pet CT scan may vary based on your pet's condition and the veterinarian's instructions. Generally, you may be asked to withhold food from your pet for several hours prior to the scan to ensure accurate results. Additionally, it is essential to inform your veterinarian about any medications your pet is currently taking.
