\u201cImaging pets across a range of sizes and breeds presents unique problems, and we have collaborated with our customers to identify these to deliver unique solutions through our technology. We know that image quality is important to vets, but so is reliability and ease of use.\u201d <\/p>Steve Roberts, CTO, Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The design includes a unique V-shaped bed and spine coil to aid spinal alignment and patient positioning. This innovation has the added benefit of improving image quality compared with a flat surface, typical in human machines. The scanner also has an in-built radiofrequency shield, removing the need to incorporate these features into the design of the room itself. This increases the options available to practices for housing one of the MRI scanners, thereby reducing one of the key barriers to some practices. Other key features include the specially designed imaging software, flexible, open-top coil design for different patient sizes, and a comprehensive lifecycle customer support package, \u2018Q-Care<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Innovation awards encompass both the product and the service that surrounds it and in Q-Care, Hallmarq delivers a unique level of support unheard of in the industry. From initial inquiry through installation and beyond, their truly collaborative partnerships work to support the advanced imaging journey for every customer. We interviewed Steve Roberts to find out what it means to win this prestigious award again, find the interview here<\/a> on our YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steve adds, \u201cWinning this award is a really big moment for our team and the culmination of many years of complicated development. The validation of our concepts and designs brings us even greater visibility within the global veterinary industry and offers more opportunities to talk to vets about the solutions we can offer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simon Platt, BVM&S, DipECVN, DipACVIM, (Neurology) FRCVS, Hallmarq\u2019s Small Animal Medical Director explains the importance of making MRI more accessible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMRI is considered the gold-standard diagnostic tool for a range of conditions but has previously felt out of reach for many practices. Our team aims to break down these barriers by offering cutting-edge equipment, along with financial flexibility and long-term training and support, to help vets on the front-line benefit from greater diagnostic capabilities and deliver more targeted treatments to their patients.\u201d <\/p>Simon Platt, Small Animal Medical Director, Hallmarq <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hallmarq CEO Jos Belgrave, BVSc, CertEP, MRCVS, believes that innovative technology continues to be a healthy investment and is boosted by initiatives such as the Queen\u2019s Awards, stating, <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHallmarq\u2019s third Queen\u2019s Award, along with incremental sales growth, demonstrates the commercial value of our continued investment in innovation, a strategy which has been strongly supported in recent years by August Equity.
