“This is a machine created by veterinarians for veterinarians, designed specifically with the horse’s safety and wellbeing in mind. It represents the best available technology for equine imaging.”
The impact of Equina® is game-changing
Safer, more accurate, and more efficient imaging means lower risk, lower costs, and a greater return on investment for veterinary practices. Happier horses, happier owners—why settle for “good enough” when Equina® exists?
