Computed tomography (CT) is an advanced diagnostic method that uses X-ray radiation to obtain extremely accurate cross-sections of the patient's body. This allows the veterinarian to precisely assess the condition of organs and tissues, make an accurate diagnosis, and plan further treatment or examinations. It is one of the most precise imaging examinations, often providing information unavailable with traditional X-ray or ultrasound.
The clinic uses, among other equipment, devices that produce ionizing radiation for animal diagnostics — an X-ray imaging device and a computed tomography (CT) scanner. The X-ray facilities where these devices are used were commissioned based on permits issued by the President of the National Atomic Energy Agency. The clinic monitors the exposure of staff and the public based on environmental dosimetry carried out by an accredited laboratory. Clinic staff have been trained in radiation protection by a qualified radiation protection inspector from RADIOVET – radiovet.pl. Properly shielded walls and ceilings of the rooms, adopted working methods, implemented processes and procedures, as well as regular dose readings, ensure that the clinic’s activities involving exposure to ionizing radiation have no negative impact on human health or the environment.
