Investment Infusion Powers Asto CT's Global Journey
Asto CT is thrilled to announce a substantial injection of funding to propel the next phase of its global expansion for Equine Standing CT scanner known as the Equina®. This significant investment underscores investors' increasing confidence in the state-of-the-art scanner, renowned for its safe and high-quality imaging for horses in a comfortable standing position.
Equipped with cutting-edge imaging technology, the Equina Standing CT scanner empowers veterinarians to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of equine anatomy, all while the horse maintains a natural standing postion.

High-Quality Visualization: The scanner's advanced imaging capabilities furnish detailed, cross-sectional images, facilitating accurate and informed diagnoses.
Expedited Diagnosis and Treatment: The rapid and efficient imaging process accelerates diagnosis, allowing for prompt treatment planning, minimizing downtime.
Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation: Equine athletes benefit from the scanner's capacity to assess both bone and soft tissue, aiding in the management of performance-related issues.
