Case Study time 📝

In this case study, we take a look at chronic solar pe*******on and how the use of both Standing Equine MRI and Vision CT – combined – helped with a definitive diagnosis that was truly life-saving for the horse at Elders Equine.

Check out the case in our library >> https://okt.to/84NOTX

With superior diagnostic capability for solar penetrating injuries, Standing Equine MRI significantly aids diagnosis and treatment planning without the risks associated with general anaesthesia (1-6). The added advantage of combining CT and MRI for imaging of the distal limb means that cases with a....

👉Determine the patient’s anatomic orientation
👉Use a localiser to check positioning
👉Account for artefacts from respiratory motion and stimulation
👉Select the right coil for your veterinary MRI patient
👉Use weights and restraints

For veterinarians navigating the complexities of equine lameness – which poses a significant caseload in many practices – 3D CT scans have become a game-changer. Unlike traditional radiographs and ultrasounds that offer limited windows into the horse’s body, CT scans such as those captured with Vision CT, provide a three-dimensional, high-resolution map of the musculoskeletal system.

And, this newfound clarity empowers vets to diagnose lameness with accuracy, leading to more effective treatment plans and improved outcomes for horses >> https://okt.to/hUz8si

CT scans such as those captured with Hallmarq's Vision CT, provide a three-dimensional, high-resolution map of the musculoskeletal system.
