Abstract
Vascular diseases are rare in cats but do require a sophisticated diagnostic work-up.
Diagnostic imaging is essential in the work-up of cats with suspected vascular disease.
Traditionally, vascular imaging work-up was done with selected fluoroscopic angiography or ultrasound.
Computed tomography allows complete assessment of all vascular beds (arterial, venous, portal venous) in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity, as well as other body parts within a few minutes.
Computed tomography uses ionizing radiation, therefore particular health and safety measures apply.
