Equina® by Asto CT

Equina® by Asto CT is a multi-slice, fan-beam CT that allows simultaneous imaging of two limbs of a standing, sedated equine patient. Equina® has scanned THOUSANDS of equine patients around the world. Without the need for general anesthesia, scanning is safe, simple, and standing.

SAFE

Asto CT’s lead-shielded CT scanner offers very low radiation leakage and dose levels to allow handlers and operators to stay with the equine patient for greater safety.

Simple

Equina® is accessed at ground level, allowing for rapid setup and scanning. Simply lead the horse to the target ring, position, and scan. Patients are in and out in 10 minutes.

Standing

Equina® images bone and soft tissue of limb pairs up to carpus or tarsus of standing equine patients, making it ideal for detecting pathology under weight-bearing conditions.

Equina® is designed to be flexible, rugged and diagnostic.

It can image and diagnose conditions of the distal limb and diseases of the head and neck in equine patients.

FLEXIBLE

Equina’s® 92cm tapered-bore and accompanying 75cm field of view makes it easy to image all sizes of horses, from ponies to draft horses. With a pivoting robotic gantry, Equina is flexible to allow head and neck imaging.

RUGGED

Equina® is rugged enough to withstand a 1000kg strike force and allow image guided surgery, making it uniquely designed for the rigors of equine veterinary practice.

DIAGNOSTIC

Equina® uses 24 detector rows at fast (1 second) rotation for CT imaging of 36 slices per second. With wide continuous vertical and horizontal scan fields, Equina™ offers high quality, diagnostic imaging without the need for scout views.
