Equine Standing CT :
 
The new standard of care in equine imaging is here. Equina™ by Asto CT™ is a multi-slice helical CT that allows simultaneous imaging of two limbs of a standing, sedated equine patient. Equina™ has scanned hundreds of equine patients around the world. Without the need for general anesthesia, scanning is safe, simple and standing.
 
Equina™ by Asto CT™ is made by veterinary doctors for equine veterinary practice. Designed to be flexible, rugged and diagnostic, Equina™ can image and diagnose conditions of the distal limb and diseases of the head and neck in equine patients
 
Safe
Equina™ offers very low radiation leakage and dose levels to allow handlers and operators to stay
with the equine patient for greater safety.
Simple
Equina™ is accessed at ground level, allowing for rapid setup and scanning. Simply lead the horse
to the target ring, position, and scan. Patients are in and out in 10 minutes.
Standing
Equina™ images bone and soft tissue of limb pairs up to carpus or tarsus of standing equine patients, making it ideal for detecting pathology under weight-bearing conditions.
Flexible
Equina’s™ 75cm bore and accompanying 75cm field of view makes it easy to image all sizes of horses, from ponies to draft horses. With a pivoting robotic gantry, Equina™ is flexible to allow head and neck imaging.
Rugged
Equina™ is rugged enough to withstand a 1000kg strike force and allow image guided surgery, making it uniquely designed for the rigors of equine veterinary practice
Diagnostic
Equina™ uses 24 detector rows at fast (1 second) rotation for volumetric imaging of 36 slices per second. With wide continuous vertical and horizontal scan fields, Equina™ offers high-quality, diagnostic imaging without the need for scout views.
