Frequently Asked Questions

When Would I Perform Standing Equine Leg CT?
  • Hallmarq’s Standing Equine Leg CT utilizes cone beam technology to optimize images of the distal limb, instead of fan-beam CT, commonly used to image the head.
  • It is of benefit in cases where lameness has been localized to the region of foot to fetlock, and primary bone injury is suspected.
  • Sub-millimeter resolution images, combined with the ability to perform 3D reconstruction, add detailed information to bony pathology suspected on radiographs.
  • This assists with surgical planning and, where a contrast agent is additionally used, can offer information about the articular surface of a joint.
  • In cases such as osteochondral fragmentation or fracture, cone-beam CT clearly illustrates pathology, eliminating the issue of superimposition of multiple structures which can contribute to occasional uncertainty when interpreting alternative imaging modalities.
