A veterinary hospital has invested more than £200,000 in the latest, life-saving CT scanner technology.
A Siemens Somatom Scope 16 Computed Tomography (CT) scanner will operate at Wanstead Veterinary Hospital, in New Wanstead.
Clinical director Tom Flynn said: "We're delighted to be one of the first veterinary hospitals in London to be able to offer this advanced scanning capability.
“Our diagnostic imaging team is led by vet Andrew Holloway, who holds a European Diploma in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.
"It has been a significant investment for us but allows us to greatly increase the speed, accuracy and range of the diseases which we can now diagnose and treat.
“The last thing owners of sick pets want to do is travel for an hour or more to get them the veterinary care they need so we hope the availability of our new scanning service will be helpful.
“We've already put it through its paces on a number of dogs, cats and rabbits with some excellent results."
