for accurate imaging so that diagnosis can be made accurately
Without. I had a cat scan this morning for that very reason and no contrast was needed.
No, you cannot scan a cat microchip with your phone to identify the pet's information. A special microchip scanner is needed to read the information stored on the microchip.
uuuh lets seee........ a cat scan!

do lymph nodes show on a cat scan
Yeah, a cat scan is pretty much safe. I say 'pretty much' because the ionizing rays cat scans apply can cause DNA which can lead to cancer. Same as X-rays. However, this is very rare, and your doctor would only give you a cat scan/X-ray if he thought you really needed one. What I'm saying here is that, for all practical purposes, cat scans are safe.

They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.
To determine if your cat is microchipped, you can take them to a veterinarian or animal shelter to have a scan done. This scan will detect if a microchip is present in your cat.
You do not have to stay home after a CAT scan. The procedure has no residual effects. After you leave the clinic or hospital, you can resume normal activities if you are otherwise healthy.
