• Standing Equine Leg CT is a non-invasive, comparatively low radiation technique allowing images to be taken of a standing patient in a matter of minutes.
• A scan takes just 60 seconds, with the entire procedure complete in around fifteen minutes.
• For horses where general anaesthesia is inadvisable, either due to the suspected pathology causing lameness or other concurrent issues, imaging can be performed whilst the patient is only mildly sedated.
• Radiation dose is comparable to digital radiography enabling both operator and handler to easily remain with the patient whilst imaging is completed.

Yes, CT is considered advanced imaging and whilst the Hallmarq Standing Equine Leg CT is accessible to most practices, it is also possible to refer patients. The referral clinic will need to know the case history and any previous diagnostic results. After a CT scan, they will provide an interpretation and radiological report. Other options may also be available by arrangement:

• suggestions regarding treatment and prognosis
• an explanation to the client, in the appropriate language
• further case management or treatment
