Veterinary MRI system EQ2

for equines

The proven game changer in lameness diagnosis MRI has for long been the imaging method of choice in human medicine, making it the gold standard for diagnosing pathology. Hallmarq’s Standing Equine MRI system (sMRI) brings the same diagnostic capability to equine clinical practice, with the equine patient at the forefront of every design decision. Commonly, the outcome of a conventional lameness workup is a horse that blocks to a certain region but has no visible changes on X-ray or ultrasound. Response to treatment may be the only way to confirm or refute a potential diagnosis, and the horse may have to repeatedly return to the clinic for further examination. This pathway costs both time and money, while the patient may lose condition and the injury gets worse. By visualizing slices through tissue, MRI can quickly and precisely localize damage to both bone and soft tissues without the need for anesthesia. Diagnostic in over 90% of cases, Standing Equine MRI (sMRI) identifies the specific cause of lameness MRI is the only way to distinguish between the many different diseases underlying “navicular disease” in the foot MRI of the fetlock and knee allows racehorse trainers to modify training to prevent poor performance and avoid the risk of serious injury MRI without anesthesia No risk to the horse makes it easier for your client to say yes to standing equine MRI than conventional “down” MRI. Award-winning motion correction software Designed to compensate for any slight movement of the limb during image acquisition. Faster scan times means more cases and lower costs.
