Humans aren't the only ones who get their scans and X-rays done animals under the scanners are on another level.
People usually get their CT/CAT (computed tomography) scans done to detect and treat various medical conditions. We must drag in our animal friends when they need some doctor's attention. Whether getting their vaccines, ingesting pills, or simply getting a radiology or CT checkup done, they often create quite a fuss because we can not convince them through conversations. Here is where scientists and doctors come up with various hacks to treat mammals, birds, reptiles and many others effectively.
Most of the time, the animals get strapped to the CT scan table with duct tape, ropes, tubes and whatnot. Before getting sedated or pacified, these animals might not find the whole medical mumbo jumbo exciting, but it is an adorable sight to behold. Have you ever wondered how they scan fish by taking them out of the water? How about those deadly snakes that can slither away easily from under the scanner? There is nothing to worry about because the doctors have found ways to restrain every single one of them for their own good. Here are some of the funniest pictures posted on the internet that show animals awkwardly resting before getting rolled into the CT scan machine.

The veterinary team sedated the fish and ran water intermittently over its gills while the CT scan was performed
