Patterson Veterinary Advanced Imaging · High-Resolution CT
High-resolution CT for dental detail and everyday medicine.
High-resolution CT options should be compared around spatial detail, patient access, room requirements, workflow, and the service lines the practice plans to support.
Detail without narrowing the future.
High-resolution CT is strongest when fine bone and dental anatomy matter, yet the practice also wants room to grow into orthopedic, spinal, exotics, pulmonary, and selected soft-tissue studies. The system choice should reflect patient range, room geometry, anesthesia flow, and how the images will be interpreted.
NewTom 7G
A high-resolution CT option for dentistry and general practice, with broad patient access and full-body versatility.
- Evaluate room, patient access, and protocol needs together
- 10 ft × 15 ft early-planning baseline; final service layout may require more
- Compare exact soft-tissue and motion protocols for your case mix
MyVet CT Plus
A compact veterinary CT option designed for thin-slice, large-field-of-view imaging and streamlined operation.
- Compare compact footprint, large bore, slice thickness, and planned protocols
- Validate patient access and field of view
- Confirm the CT-specific teleradiology workflow
MyVet i3D
An established compact platform for small-animal CT programs.
- Compare image priorities, patient access, workflow, and installation requirements
- Confirm patient-size limits
- Review installation, training, service, and interpretation
Installation specifications.
Use these figures for early feasibility only. Final room, access, shielding, structural, HVAC, and electrical requirements must follow the exact system configuration, current manufacturer pre-installation guide, local codes, and an approved site plan before construction.
NewTom 7G
- Room planning: 10 ft × 15 ft is the practical planning baseline; final room layout must be validated against the exact system, service access, patient workflow, local codes, and approved site plan.
- Power: 230 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz, single-phase, 16 A maximum; permanent dedicated connection with the specified 25 A protective breaker.
- Before construction: Confirm delivery path, service access, floor, shielding, HVAC, workstation, and final orientation.
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.
- Before construction: Confirm floor capacity of 102 lb/ft², bed travel, workstation outlet, shielding, HVAC, and exact room orientation.
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.
- Before construction: Confirm floor capacity of 102 lb/ft², bed travel, workstation outlet, shielding, HVAC, and exact configuration.
Make the decision around the practice.
A good high-resolution recommendation should explain how clinical detail, patient access, field of view, room, daily workflow, interpretation, and long-term support fit together. Compare each system against the practice’s complete requirements.
Strong fit when
- Dental and ENT cases are frequent
- General-practice versatility matters
- Fine bone and orthopedic detail are priorities
- The team wants a repeatable scheduled workflow
Questions to resolve first
- What room, access, and service clearances are available?
- What patient sizes and positioning must be accommodated?
- How much soft-tissue and motion-sensitive imaging is planned?
- Which CT-specific teleradiology group will interpret outside reads?
Plan the whole program—not only the scanner.
Clinical fit is only the first decision. Patterson helps connect site readiness, workflow, training, interpretation, service, and financial planning before a final configuration is selected.
Start with the practice—then compare the fit.
The comparison should show which technology best matches the clinical goals, patient mix, room, workflow, interpretation plan, and support requirements.
