Read More”A major advantage of the Equina standing CT scanner is that it images limb pairs. This allows the horse to stand naturally with minimal positioning involved. Veterinarians can then compare both limbs [affected and unaffected] to find the cause for lameness.”

“If you can get diagnostic imaging that gives you the answer quickly, and safely, it’s a huge advantage. That’s why I’m such an advocate for the Equina by Asto CT, because it would have given us the information we needed in 30 seconds compared to hours.”
Read MoreWe would like to officially welcome Dr. Sabrina Brounts to the Asto CT team as a scientific advisor.
Read More“Hoof abscesses occur when bacteria get trapped between the sensitive laminae (the tissue layer that bonds the hoof capsule to the coffin bone) and the hoof wall or sole. The bacteria create exudate (pus), which builds up and creates pressure behind the hoof wall or sole. This pressure can become extremely painful.” -Dr. Brian Fitzgerald
