Standing CT continues to reshape how we evaluate challenging head and neck conditions in horses. This case‑based review highlights where CT meaningfully changes clinical decision‑making—from acute trauma to neurologic disease.
Can we predict fetlock stress fractures before they happen? New research in Equine Veterinary Journal shows how standing CT combined with virtual mechanical testing can assess fracture risk in elite Thoroughbreds by measuring strain in high-risk regions of the distal MC3.
The resulting Equina® system permits simultaneous imaging of both distal limbs in a weight-bearing stance. This enables assessment of anatomical structures under natural load, improving detection of subtle pathology.
We are proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Asto CT Best CT Cases of the Year, recognizing exceptional clinical cases that highlight the diagnostic power, versatility, and clinical impact of standing CT imaging across equine and veterinary medicine.
“The Equine Standing CT at Mizzou is transforming how my colleagues and I diagnose and treat lameness,” says Dr. McCraken. “We’re identifying lesions in new locations and gaining a deeper understanding of how these findings correlate with clinical signs.”
Bones, joints, and soft tissues align differently when a horse is non-weight-bearing. Weight-bearing CT captures the structures as they function during movement and while bearing load, leading to more accurate diagnoses.
Pioneer Equine Hospital, a premier, full-service equine veterinary practice proudly announces the integration of the cutting-edge Asto CT Equina® Standing CT Scanner into its diagnostic services. This state-of-the-art imaging technology marks a significant advancement in the hospital’s commitment to providing exceptional equine care.
IMV imaging, a leader in veterinary diagnostic imaging solutions, and Asto CT®, pioneer of the world’s only true weight-bearing fan-beam CT scanner for equine patients, are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at combining their expertise and technology to elevate veterinary imaging capabilities worldwide.
This milestone marks more than a decade of innovation, research, and collaboration between veterinarians, engineers, and industry leaders uniting around a single mission: to make advanced, cross-sectional imaging safer and more accessible for horses.
