“It makes sense that any equine practice with an advanced lameness program would have Equine Standing CT installed. For us at Virginia Equine Imaging, it’s a critical tool for diagnosing lameness and developing treatment plans. ”
Dr. Kent Allen
DVM, CERT. ISELP, President & Executive Director ISELP, Virginia Equine Imaging
“Traditional CT does not allow for the close observation that the Equina provides. With traditional CT there is increased risk, if you’re leaving a horse tied to a machine, or positioned in an unnatural position”
Dr. Sabrina Brounts
DVM, MS, DACVS, DACVSMR (Equine Clinical Professor, Head of Large Animal Surgery, UW Madison)
“Imaging both limbs simultaneously helps us identify unexpected lesions with significant prognostic implications. It allows for a complete assessment of key joints, and provides a view of bone, soft tissues, and foot balance.”
Dr. Chris Whitton
BVSc, FANZCVS, PhD, Professor at Melbourne Veterinary School
“The biggest benefit of the standing CT at our clinic is its speed and precision. Compared to other imaging modalities like MRI and X-ray, we can obtain high-quality, three-dimensional diagnostic images in under a minute”
Dr. Nicolas Ernst
DVM, DACVS-LA, Associate Professor VPM, Equine Surgeon at the UMN Leatherdale Equine Center
“Excited for our 500th Standing CT exam. In two and a half years, this diagnostic tool has revolutionized our equine practice. I see lesions that are not visible or difficult to interpret on radiographs almost every day”
Megan J. McCracken
DVM, MS, DACVS-LA, Assistant Teaching Professor Equine Surgery, Missouri University Veterinary Health Center
“In private practice, standing CT is practical and well tolerated by the horse. It requires less time than MRI, allows us to image a larger area of interest, and is often more cost effective. We’re identifying pathology beyond what ultrasound and radiographs”
Dr. Jack Caldwell
DVM, Virginia Equine Imaging
“The Equina® is one of the most innovative, advanced imaging devices available for veterinary medicine. We can scan front or back limb pairs, or the head/neck of a standing horse under light sedation, allowing the patient to be in and out in just minutes with minimal stress and risk.”
Dr. Paul Wan
