Spiral-Linear CT: whole-body scanning in a small room

MyVet systems were built for veterinary hospitals. They fit in a small room, have a large bore, and keep the workflow simple for a team running its first CT.

The systems

MyVet's Spiral-Linear CT design is built for thin-slice, large-field-of-view imaging in a compact system.

MyVet CT Plus

A compact veterinary CT option designed for thin-slice, large-field-of-view imaging and streamlined operation.

  • Compare exact footprint and access path
  • Demonstrate planned dental and soft-tissue protocols
  • Confirm anesthesia and patient-positioning workflow

MyVet i3D

An established compact platform for small-animal CT programs.

  • Validate patient-size and field-of-view limits
  • Review software and reconstruction workflow
  • Compare total ownership and service support

Who reads the studies

Outside reads need a teleradiology group that reads this type of CT.

  • Check with your preferred group first
  • Ask me who other hospitals use
  • Decide which studies your doctors will read themselves

Installation specifications.

The two compact MyVet systems share a similar room envelope but not the same electrical requirement. Final construction must follow the exact quoted configuration, current pre-installation guide, local codes, shielding design, and an approved site plan.

MyVet CT Plus

  • Room size: 11 ft × 9 ft × 7.3 ft high, 36 in minimum door, with more than 18 in behind the gantry.
  • Power: 220–240 VAC, 25 A, single-phase, 5.5 kVA; dedicated grounded supply.
  • Site notes: Confirm 102 lb/ft² floor capacity, bed travel, workstation outlet, shielding, HVAC, and delivery path.

MyVet i3D

  • Room size: 11 ft × 9 ft × 7.3 ft high, 36 in minimum door, with more than 18 in behind the gantry.
  • Power: 120 VAC at 25 A or 240 VAC at 20 A, single-phase; dedicated grounded circuit.
  • Site notes: Confirm 102 lb/ft² floor capacity, bed travel, workstation outlet, shielding, HVAC, and exact configuration.

Before construction

Room size alone does not establish readiness.

  • Use the serial- and configuration-specific manufacturer plan
  • Complete a shielding and local-code review
  • Validate access, floor, HVAC, network, anesthesia flow, and service clearances

Is it right for you?

Good fit if

  • Space is tight
  • You mostly scan small animals
  • You're comfortable with a CT-specific reading group
  • You want a simple workflow for a first CT

Questions to resolve first

  • What is the measured room and access path?
  • Which cases will be routine versus occasional?
  • Will the team read studies internally or use teleradiology?
  • How do footprint, patient access, and protocol capability align with your case mix?

Before you decide

I'd want to see your room, know who's reading the studies, and plan training and service for the exact system. Send me what you have and I'll tell you what I'd check first.

Measure the room first.

That often decides whether you need a compact scanner or just have the option of one.
