COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
A CT scan has many advantages for diagnosing exotic pets. In case of small animals with filigree bone structures in particular, a lot more information can be extracted from a CT compared with an x-ray image. In dentistry, especially in rodents and rabbits, imaging with CT is preferable to X-rays. Depending on the species, general anesthesia is often not required, only sedation or in some cases it can even be carried out while awake.
