Veterinary CT scanner EQUINA®

for equines

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® offers very low radiation leakage and dose levels to allow handlers and operators to stay with the equine patient for greater safety. 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. 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. EQUINA® IS DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE, RUGGED AND DIAGNOSTIC. IT CAN IMAGE AND DIAGNOSE CONDITIONS OF THE DISTAL LIMB AND DISEASES OF THE HEAD AND NECK IN EQUINE PATIENTS. Equina’s® 92cm tapered-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. 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. Equina® uses 24 detector rows at fast (1 second) rotation for CT 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. Multi-slice, helical CT with sub-millimeter resolutio
