Advantages

 

High Quality images

High-resolution multi-slice CT images to detect early signs of subtle stress response utilizing our bone or soft tissue window.

Cost effective solution

Our new subscription model allows clinicians to install the Equina while retaining all the revenue.  Less staff and resources involved with imaging.    

Weight-bearing Fan-Beam CT

Equina images bone and soft tissue of limb pairs up to carpus or tarsus of standing equine patients with superior fan-beam technology.

Scans in Seconds

The Equina’s 30 second and under scan time reduces motion artifact and allows patients to be in and out in 10 minutes.

Versatile

Equina’s 92cm tapered-bore allows easy patient positioning of all horse sizes and horizontal and vertical CT-gantry travel images head to lower limb pairs.

Less Liability and Risk

No general anesthesia with natural standing positions, equals less risk for the horse and no disruption to training regimen.
