Brookfield Zoo 1st to use new 3D technology
The Chicago Zoological Society’s Brookfield Zoo is the first North American zoo to use revolutionary 3D imaging technology with on-site digital radiology and CT equipment in its state-of-the-art animal hospital.
The new technology allows veterinarians to enhance two-dimensional CT (CAT) scans, MRIs and ultrasounds with 3D models that will enable them to better treat zoo animals.
The imaging will be particularly useful in the planning of surgeries, especially in difficult cases that were impossible to treat with 2D imaging. Zoo veterinarians have already aided several animals in ways never before possible.
