When you’re seeing more than 11,000 equine patients a year and the nearest MRI unit is a six- to seven-hour drive from your practice to a location in another state, it was time to do something. In this case, necessity and the desire to improve the quality of patient care were the driving forces behind Dr. Bo Brock’s decision to install a standing MRI unit at Brock Veterinary Clinic in Lamesa, Texas.
“We installed a Hallmarq standing MRI in April and used it on about 30 patients the first three months,” Dr. Brock says. “Because of it, we have found things we could not have even dreamed of before we had it, and we’ve learned things about a horse’s foot that we only speculated about before we got it.”
