Computed tomography of cats without general anesthesia: feasibility, protocol development and assessment of cats with thoracic disease
… met the clinical needs of cats. In phase two, CT protocols were developed and tested in awake normal cats using the VetMouseTrapTM. Twenty two awake normal cats were imaged using a 16 multi-slice helical CT unit to evaluate dose equivalent protocols. Two different x-ray tube potentials (kV’s), 80 …
