Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging adds Standing Equine Leg CT (slCT) to their advanced imaging portfolio, offering increased access to CT technology

Guildford and Chicago—To help veterinarians improve their ability to quickly and safely diagnose the cause of equine lameness, Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging announced its Standing Equine Leg CT, increasing access to advanced imaging for all veterinary practices.

Hallmarq introduced the new slCT as part of their virtual booth at the American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting this week, after their success imaging live horses in several clinics.

With this new entry into the market, Hallmarq used over 20 years of experience, and an exclusive focus on standing imaging, to create an additional tool for equine veterinarians to fully evaluate and diagnose lameness, fracture, and disease in the equine distal limb.

CT combines hundreds of x-rays to create a 3D digital image, which can then be viewed as thin slices from any direction, eliminating overlapping structures and revealing minute detail in bone and cartilage. The slCT complements Hallmarq’s unique Standing Equine MRI (sMRI) which highlights soft tissue and metabolic changes. “Just like our Standing MRI, our Standing Equine Leg CT is designed from the ground up, with the horse in mind, so it’s compact, open and safe for the horse and ideal for today’s equine vet who requires visualization of bone and potentially cartilage,” said Nick Bolas, Founding Director at Hallmarq. He explained that the system uses a novel dual concentric ring design which enables the detector plate to remain very close to the region of interest, thereby improving image quality
