Introducing CBCT Scanners to Dubai for Feline Care

At The Cat Vet, a cat-exclusive veterinary clinic in Dubai, we are always looking for new and emerging technology to help us provide the best care for our little feline friends. We are proud to be the first veterinary clinic to have a CBCT Pet Scan in Dubai, created by the world-renowned medical imaging equipment producer, SONTU, and installed by iVet Medical, which made the specially designed veterinary cone-beam CT pet scan in our Dubai clinic a possibility.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a revolutionary imaging methodology that enables 3D visualization of internal organs, nerve pathways, bones, and soft tissues. Earlier called Computed Axial Tomography (CAT scanners), the advanced systems are non-invasive and high-precision, making them more suitable for a pet CT scan. The device makes it easier for us to diagnose ENT issues, polyps, tumours, inflammations, and any other underlying diseases or injuries more closely – helping us plan the most effective treatments. Give your cat the specialist care they deserve and remain calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.

Common Scenarios When Vets Prescribe a CT Scan for Cats

Our feline friends are masters at disguising pain and discomfort. So, we are not leaving any stones unturned to ensure their health and well-being. We can perform a pet scan in Dubai with or without referrals and may suggest a CT scan for cats in the following scenarios:

Polyps or any type of abnormal change or discontinuity in tissue

Lesions, tumours, and infections

Splenic rupture and other forms of internal injuries

Cat arthritis

Hip dysplasia

Fractures and dislocations

Dental diseases and injuries

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) disorders

Respiratory disorders

Neurological issues like vestibular disease or paralysis

CT scan reports help us plan treatments, surgery, and disease management with an integrative approach and complete recovery. We can offer a simple and affordable Dubai CT scan for pets of all ages. It is performed by highly qualified and experienced veterinarians and animal handlers who ensure your cat remains comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

How a Pet CT Scan Works at The Cat Vet Clinic

At The Cat Vet, we have designed our emergency veterinary clinic to deliver expert care in the event of a sudden injury or illness. Extending beyond routine appointments, our hospital specialises in critical care, rapid diagnostics, and immediate surgery to safeguard your cat’s life and stabilise its health conditions. Enclosed are the key emergency vet services we provide:

Preparing Your Pet for a CT scan: The first step in any procedure at The Cat Vet is getting to know the patient and tailoring the next steps according to their needs. We aim to become friends first.

Anaesthesia: Usually, a safe dose of mild sedation is given while performing a CT scan for pets, just to relax them. General anaesthesia is used as a last resort, depending on the severity of the condition and if your cat is extremely anxious.

The Scanning: We have specially designed veterinarian CBCT systems to carry out CT scans for cats. The system already has built-in lasers to position your cat correctly on the table to get the angles right. The Sontu Veterinary Cone-beam CT is capable of rapid 3D imaging through a single rotation with minimal radiation exposure.

Reporting: Our specially trained cat radiologists in Dubai analyse the scanned images and create detailed reports that are 100% accurate. We follow an integrative approach and conduct a comprehensive assessment, so no matter how good your cat is at hiding it, we will find out exactly what’s going on in their body and tell you how we can fix it.

Once the report is ready, we can sit down with you to discuss further treatment and decide what’s best for the little one. We have board-certified and internationally acclaimed veterinarians and specialists in our team who provide world-class cat healthcare in Dubai. We also collaborate with your vet to provide ongoing support throughout the treatment.

FAQs

Yes, CBCT is a better alternative to traditional CT cat scanners in many ways. Our main goal in bringing this technology to Dubai for feline diagnosis is the fact that it results in lower radiation exposure and is comparatively quicker at producing high-quality resolution images. Therefore, it is generally safer, less stressful, and more accurate for your cat's treatment.
Yes, we have employed specially designed veterinary CT scanners in Dubai that use much less radiation and can take multi-angle images in less than 60 minutes, reducing the need for repeats. So it is generally safe and effective for your pets.
Cat parents are usually advised to fast their cats for 8–12 hours and not give water or other liquids for a few hours before the scan. However, the exact instructions might vary depending on the cat’s age and needs.
We use anaesthesia to keep your cat still and relaxed throughout the procedure. Movements can blur the image and require repeats. We mostly use mild sedation, but general anaesthesia may be used when necessary.
Yes, you can. We widely accept referrals from other vets and clinics. You can access our CBCT scan for cats who are not being treated at our clinic.
While the actual CT scan might take a few minutes, the whole procedure might take 60 to 90 minutes, including getting friendly with your cat, administering anaesthesia, and the post-procedure review, where we also monitor the effect of the sedation. Typically, it is a same-day procedure.
