Brown, who also has a professional diploma in marketing from Chartered Institute of Marketing in the United Kingdom, envisions a time when MRI systems will catch up to human medicine in terms of ease of access. \u201cUltimately, I think it makes veterinarians\u2019 lives easier and patient care better when veterinary-specific small animal and equine imaging systems are more readily available to practitioners, and they don\u2019t have to compromise,\u201dhe says.\u201cAt the same time,we continue to look at other imaging modalities with the knowledge that accurate, successful treatment and wellbeing of the equine and companion animal patient can only come from veterinarians and clients having access to accuratediagnostics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lastly, Brown sees one of the biggest opportunities for improvement in equine care coming from the performance horse industry, specifically involving race horses.<\/p>\n
\u201cCatastrophic injuries to horses, especially race horses, are very high profile and public. They are clearly a huge welfare issue and create a bad public image of the sport,\u201d he explains. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work being done to prevent these injuries, with much more work to do, and many stakeholders would need to agree to any changes. But it\u2019s something the equine industry needs to address for the welfare of the animals.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging announces that Dan Brown, BVSc, has been promoted to Vice President of North America for the UK-based company.
