ROI of Veterinary CT Scanners: Profitability Made Simple
Is a CT Scanner Right for Your Veterinary Practice?
Plan the investment, elevate patient care, and see a simple monthly ROI example.
For many veterinary practices, adding advanced imaging is a dream that feels just out of reach. But with the proper planning, CT technology can be both accessible and profitable—while dramatically elevating the level of care you can provide.
Why CT Changes the Conversation
Beyond the financial benefits, adding a CT scanner to your hospital opens the door to faster, more accurate diagnoses for complex cases. CT is beneficial for identifying issues like nasal tumors, thoracic masses, intervertebral disc disease, and complex fractures that can be difficult to assess with traditional radiographs. It’s also great at detecting subtle changes in the lungs, sinuses, and abdomen, giving you and your clients clear answers more quickly. With CT, you can shorten the path from uncertainty to treatment.

It’s designed with both efficiency and patient comfort in mind. Its wide 75 cm gantry and large 500 lb table capacity make positioning easier for veterinary patients of all sizes, while advanced dose-reduction technology ensures high-quality images with lower radiation exposure.

The Numbers That Matter
When you’re considering a piece of equipment this advanced, it’s natural to wonder: Can my practice really afford this? Here’s a simple way to run the numbers using conservative assumptions:
| Assumption | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum volume | 15 CT scans per month |
| Average charge per scan | $1,500 |
| Monthly payment plan | $4,000 |
| Radiologist read per scan | $250 |
| Contrast cost per scan | $100 (estimate) |
| Preventive maintenance savings | $3,000/month set aside |
Your Profitability Calculator (Example)
| Line Item | Calculation | Monthly Total |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 15 scans Ă— $1,500 | $22,500 |
| CT payment | — | $4,000 |
| Radiologist reads | 15 Ă— $250 | $3,750 |
| Contrast | 15 Ă— $100 | $1,500 |
| Maintenance fund | — | $3,000 |
| Net Monthly Margin | $22,500 – $12,250 | $10,250 |
That’s over $120,000 net margin per year at just 15 cases/month. As awareness grows among clients and referring DVMs, many hospitals see higher volumes—improving ROI even further.
